At this point, the car is running but I have run into some issues. Most have been fixed and, as of right now, I am waiting on breaking in the motor (12 KM's down! Only several hundred more to go!!) and a good tune. My intention is to drive the crap out of it. I want to upgrade the suspension and slowly start working on the look of the car. Eventually, I want to install the Feed (or replica) side skirts, the Feed rear spoiler (Type II) and a rear diffuser. I do not want CF but if that's what I get, I will also pick up a CF 99 spec front lip. I have feed +20mm over fenders that will also go on the car. From there, I want to paint the car the 99 spec gunmetal metallic and call it a day. I would love to pick up some sleek headlights (RMagic or RE-A) But that is not a HUGE priority. Basically, (besides paint), the car will be finished for less than 1000 bucks from how it sits now.
The only issue I am worried about now is oil in the turbo. The drain line was pinched and it cause oil to back up into the compressor housing. I have read that this is common if the line is jacked up, but shouldn't damage the turbo seals if taken care of right away. It was, and I hope to have more info on this on Friday. Until then, I am not going to stress it.

Turbo line is figured out. Car is running pretty good right now. It is running super rich however, it needs a tune and some more breaking in. I need to reinstall the cage and a couple other things. Also, I need to get the datalogit connected to the wideband and reading the correct AF ratio. For whatever reason, it isn't working correctly right now. After that, I need to finish the trunk mounted water injection install and it should be good. Right now the car pulls pretty strong and the turbo spools exceptionally quick. I haven't given it a complete comparison yet, but I would say its only a bit slower than the stock twins.
