Thanks alot guys. Tiago did a badass job. Hopefully we'll get some break in mile this week if the weather coops. The wheel and tire setup are CCW 18X13 with 345 Mickeys

It is no lower than the front cross member is, I don't expect ground clearance issues other than the normal... my viper is 2" off the ground and it gets around, just got to drive wisely

Thanks!

Looks like top notch work.

Have any pictures inside the wheel wells with the liner back in?

this is my moonlighting operation

weekends only

I haven't reinstalled the wheel wells yet, waiting to put some brake in miles on it first and check everything over before doing that. Thanks!

thanks!

That's one heck of a build! I believe those turbos are just big enough to make some serious power!

Great job!

Interesting spot for the turbos; are you worried at all about sucking warm air due to that being right in the engine bay air extraction path?

What are your IATs, and have you hung a thermistor near the intake filter(s) to see what temps they are sucking and how they compare to ambient?

I think it is a concern @ speed unless you have a hood designed with heat-extraction louvers, as this is exactly the path (unless I am grossly mistaken here) that underhood air goes after that fat intercooler & radiator you have (+ around the bell housing, but that's not a concern).

the hood does have heat extracting vents in it. The turbos will be getting fresh air from the wheel wells more than engine heat imo in that spot, we will just have to see the IAT's when we get some miles on it.

we had a problem with the stock fuel pump and we had to go back into the gas tank and fix it, its a major pita with the rear/trans on the car

Also working on putting a higher output alternator on it, because we were draining the battery when the big fuel pump is running.

this weekend should get some seat time for sure though

Awesome build Tiago, I am pretty sure I met you down at the mile in october last year. I actually have a TT kit for my C6 that is very similar to this setup. I can't wait to finally get it up and running. Would you mind if I pick you brain about a couple of small things?
