These aren't anything too special (picture quality ) I was board waiting on someone, had my point and shoot camera and thought I would get some updated pictures
I also dyno'd my car and I was hopping to get some runs at 25psi but but I had some issues and only did 18psi (I guess I need to add another fuel pump) I have it so it boosts up to 21psi then tappers of to 18 that is why the torque drops and the HP line is flat unlike the typical 2jz dyno.
This was my first time at this track and my first event with the NASA-AZ guys so I started out in hpde1. The track was really fun but they don't let you pass and the traffic was really slow so I never got to push the car and find my brake points but next time they have an event at INDE I'll be in a faster group. The video is in group 3 at the end of the day. I just ran the car at 12lbs of boost and pulled some timing because it was pretty hot outside, about 330whp but that was plenty for the new track.

It's a pretty small turbo for most guys but it's exactly what I wanted. Even at a 1k rpm if you floor it you are instantly in positive boost, doesn't really hit until it gets timing about 4k rpm but it pulls pretty good all the way threw and U have the limiter at 7200 rpm. For a street car with C/C, A/C and pretty much everything else, she's a beast.
Here is an updated engine bay pic. It's dirty and a crapy cell phone picture but it is updated.

nice build! How was your paint been holding up with that Seibon carbon fiber hood and those 2 aerocatch latches/pins? I have the same hood, but some users reported cracking paint after getting it painted.
