LaFuriaRoja's 3G turbo build

I'm actually pretty hesitant about posting my whole build thusfar because I tend to wait until my 'work in progress' is finished, but in the meantime I figured it'd be good to get some feedback.

2001 Eclipse GS, 4-speed sportronic (auto)

Performance:
T04e turbo @12psi (single scroll, journal bearing, i.e. basic)
TiAL 38mm external wastegate w/atmospheric dump
4G63 stainless steel T3-flanged turbo manifold
2.5" intake piping
Weapon-R filter and velocity stack (temporary, until I convert to GM MAF)
Slim front-mount intercooler
2.5" custom turbo-back exhaust
DSM 450cc injectors w/resistor pack
Walbro 255 fuel pump
GReddy Type-RS BOV (vented)
A/C delete
Hayden 30k GVW trans cooler
Aluminum two-row radiator w/15" pusher fans
Battery relocation
Glowshift boost+trans temp gauges
AEM UEGO wideband
ECUflash tuned

Cosmetic:
KYB AGX w/Megan springs
Stock wheels
VIS V-line wing
Plastidip+niteshade here and there
LED tail lights
Sonar halo projectors

I really didn't plan on even starting this build until my friend offered me a lot of part off his turbo 420a, at which point I couldn't refuse. The turbo itself, intercooler, piping, and wastegate are still being used from that setup.

Primarily though, I'm working on a DOHC build using a Hyundai Sonata G4JS head. I currently have the head with all stock springs/retainers/valves/guides/etc, BC 272s, HKS cam gears, Galant GS DOHC timing belt, S90 70mm TB, and an aluminum intake manifold. I also have a CoolingMist water/meth injection kit, which I plan on using to create a direct-port setup. I'm also piecing together a DIY water intercooler sprayer.

Cosmetic-wise, I have 18" TSW Trackstar 5's that need mild repair, as well as a VIS "Evo-style" carbon fiber hood requiring spacers and some cleaning up. I'd like to dip the car sometime in the spring, if I can finish the head first.

Not my favorite eclipse but that's cool that you turboed it. What kind of numbers did you put down to the wheels?

Yeah 3G's aren't exactly well-liked (well obv. hahahh) by tuners, but I found it unique. I only have VD numbers - on my cleanest pull it reached 267hp and 280ft*lbs on 12psi, but I feel like it's a little bit high even still.
