Every time we are promised good pictures of the car's body work, paint, etc., you blow up a damned engine and we have to wait more.
This build is incredible. Can't wait to see how the hell you end up packaging dual 3.5" downpipes and wastegate piping under the car.

My pictures are all mixed up, but I believe this set was his downpipes..
This is Bret's build though, so that's all I'm sharing

Can't blame you there. 
Nope. This is our own recipe. Many things are different here.
Full street car. All factory creature comfort items remain in place.

Not sure where I'll stop. I don't see any reason it won't be capable of far more than that if I choose. Unlike other high powered builds, this one will spool much earlier and with the Haltech, I'll be able to manage boost curves according to traction.

Today's installment.
I blended the seats into the combustion chambers and then polished them up.
Cartridge rolled the bowls a little too.

I'm looking forward to see what your ECT's are with doing the coating. I wish we had an apples to apples comparison, but I know the twins will generate more heat than the blower did.
