Another pic heavy update. Completed the turbo install and started her up for the first time after loading a base map. Still in the debugging / spot checking / leak checking phase. It will be a bit before I can get her on the road. Super excited to get this far. So far everything seems to be going fairly well.

Corrected wastegate fitting per Mrc@PTuning. Thank you!


Intercooler and piping photos.













Completed install photo.

Absolutely! I've been recording video from multiple cameras and snapping tons of pictures during the install. I'm planning on a full video review and more. I will most likely do this around March after getting a good tune and on the track a few times.

245 - I doubt it without a spacer on the front. My 235's are maybe 10mm from rubbing the spring. I haven't had any rubbing issues locking the wheel side to side and going up driveway at an angle.


We got some great prices on ohlins in case don't already have coilovers. Will give you more inside clearance and great for the track and street

Be very interested to see what 91 gets you on this kit as to me most local that's what's available as well.

Car is running. Not much to update until I get it fully tested and tuned.

Intercooler view through font bumper.


Exhaust tips.


PTuning etching on the top.
