The powdercoating turned out nice. This was a before shot during some of the mock up. Just to give you an idea of the improvement. The valve covers are being powdercoated to match the brake calipers.

Cant remember if I posted this already, but here you go anyway. We threw the wheels on the rear just to see what they look like. I like the gloss black. The original gunmetal wasnt bad at all. I just like the gloss black look a little bit better. It should also make the calipers pop.

Thanks Zayed! The shop is doing a great job with all the fabwork!!! The is basically the first stage and base kit that they are going to offer. So yes, it uses the stock throttle body, N/A 55 Intake manifold, and stock exhaust manifolds. After we get the numbers for this set up we will start to make the changes for where I want to be. These will be options available to anyone that purchases the TT kit from them. But the next step will be custom sheet metal intake manifold with built in intercooler (plenty of room without that supercharger), custom made turbo headers, and larger TB.

Yes sir, definitely would be down to meet up! Any excuse to drive usually works for me. I live just a few miles from Dulles Airport. I was actually gonna try to get a few DC Metro car meets together after I get the car back. I have seen several MD VA guys on the forum.

i would suggest a set of turbo blankets for the 3076's. having them surround the trans pan will generate a huge amount of heat radiating out towards the pan effectively cooking the fluid. the blankets will help keep the heat inside the turbo were it belongs
ipd makes a great set of inconel blankets. i use them on my k24's

Check out http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/ They make the blanket I use on my diesel, it see's 1800* EGT's and works amazingly well. Plus the prices are reasonable for the product, unlike some other over priced companies.
