Looks good and congrats on the purchase. Make sure you get it tuned after the next mods are installed. Don't forget some kind of boost control. I like the 3-port solenoid but definitely get something. Oh, i recommend getting a new WG actuator. The turbosmart one on mine with the 21psi spring works great!

cool, you are on the right path. Although i would save money on the intercooler because the stock unit does fine with the 8/9 turbo's and get yourself some beefier cams and turbo outlet.
