It's been a long 3 months but here is a background of the build. I traded my '13 MT82 for a base model no options '14 6R80, because my 13 was fully loaded I actually made out pretty good on trade in. BTW I'll be uploading pictures for a few minutes after I post this. I also took hundreds (literally) of pictures so feel free to ask me anything you want to see.
Here is the car the day I bought it. Took it to be weighed and it came in at 3505 with half a tank of gas and the spare tire.
Within a few days of owning the car it was already on my friends lift and dropping the stock motor to be sold.
The aluminator uses a bigger filter so you have to swap to a standard oil filter for ease of fitment.
I went with a JPC fuel system and got a CPE triple hat with E85 safe pumps. Also went with ID2000 injectors.
Next came the aluminator ordered from tousley (Sold my stock motor for $4500). I went with 9.5:1 for the extra peace of mind since I'll be running pump a lot. Plus I want to push this motor to 1000 on E85 & it came with the billet gears also. I kept the trans stock because I wanted to see how far you could push it with only a Circle D (2B).
Next came the turbo kit! It's incredible the quality of the kit. It swaps a lot of stock parts with light weight parts and outside of the turbo actually drops weight off the car surprisingly. Feel free to ask me anything specific as Dustin already has a build thread.
CPR designed k-member
Custom radiator support that comes with the kit (can be made for a stock sway bar or without)
Low profile dual fans that re-use the factory thermostat for the fans.
Billet 76mm BW!

Full suspension ready to go!
And the finished product. I'm having Adam at Revolutuon Auto tuning the car and it'll be going to him Tuesday! Stay tuned for numbers within a week or 2 and track times immediately after.
Got my covers back from paint also!
