Also, I think I may be upgrading engine mounts too. I actually think I hear them flexing under full boost!

Keep on trucking buddy!!
I hope they help out the community to learn from my mistakes. I have had some minor issues (Wastegate not opening, exhaust leak) that should be taken care of this weekend. I can't wait to finally drive the car like I'm supposed to.

That is the price of DIY, with the kicker that work this days is not allowing me any free time to work on it. So even though I have had the kit installed for like 3 weeks, I literally have not yet redlined the car.

If I had taken it to a shop, any issue would have been covered by now. But thats a price I was willing to pay! I could also do the clutch swap, but I'm tired of using all free time to work on the car. Taking it to a shop and hope to have it all taken care of, including the exhaust leak. For the WG, I will be swapping the 5 psi gate in today, to see it properly open.
