Adding some final touches the other day. The new flash is great! As my daily driver and fun car, I have some better fuel mileage and a bit more power. Kept an eye on the MPG on a couple drives and it sat around 32-34 on the highway.
I have not gotten to fully experience a pull from stop as we have entered the rainy season over here, but from a roll it pulls pretty hard through all the gears. Very happy with the results.
My car had it's own speshal moments during the whole process but OttRalliart05 was crazy helpful and went above and beyond customer service wise, especially considering I am on the other side of the continent.

Boost will come in the future when this is no longer my daily driver. Have a couple fun things left to do before that anyways, and some quirks to work out, like how today I found out that my Fan Control Module that I purchased a month ago is bad. The inside was wired incorrectly, two positive terminals on one plug and two negative on the other 
, think somebody at the factory was drinking on the job. Both fans still work if I bypass it, which is nice. Warranty or toggle switches!

Some encouragement...I spent 11 months turbocharging my daily driver and it was out of service for only two months out of that 11. Did you catch that, the last 2 months! That means I was able to drive my car for 9 months disassembling, drilling, cutting, fitting, and reassembling during the summer AND winter! Yes, I have a spouse who has a second vehicle which I relied on during those last 2 months, but I'm sure there is an alternative. I'm not bragging, I'm just telling you it can be done...
mine took over a year to collect and build, and while fitting, modifying, and dicking around, the car always made it back on the road every Monday morning...turbo kit install took about 12 hours or something like that, so I literally had zero downtime...it can be done, I'm not superman...and Gary, you did quite quite well with yours!

Turbo install is pending wife approval 
That's all, she is terrified of turbos. As she has seen one of my cars burst a fuel line and catch on fire (always get braided lines, always) and I may have launched an 800HP GSX without warning her.
