Small change to plans - I cancelled the HKS fuel rail, and have ordered 800cc Sard side feed injectors which utilise the OEM fuel rail.
Car booked for round 2 of LSD install this Friday - fingers crossed all is well this time!
Turbine housing and WG sent down to Mike @ Sinco to get downpipe, manifold and intake pipe sorted.
Once that is done, manifold, turbine housing and downpipe will be off to procoat for their ultra high-temp black ceramic coating.
Other good news - HKS have just released V4 of the Fcon V Pro, which has built in VVTi control, and an onboard boost controller - handy!
Oh, and ordered some boring maintenance stuff I thought I should probably do at the same time - engine mounts, fuel filter, water pump, cambelt etc.

beautiful car man! would you mind PMing me the details on your accumulator mods? my GTE swap could use firmer shifts...
Didn't end up doing the accumulators yet!

Now some of the good stuff is arriving!
Nice shiny 4" intake pipe with BOV and oil breather recirc (will run catch can inline)
Sinco steampipe tubular manifold with T3 flange and V-Band takeoff for external gate, check out the flange thickness and nice collector design - 10 year no crack guarantee as well!
Garrett 0.82 A/R exhaust housing with T3 inlet and 3" V-Band outlet:
Giant TiAL V60 wastegate - holy crap this thing is huuuuge!
3" downpipe V-Banded at both ends, with 02 bung and wastegate inlet:
Wastegate return - this thing is bigger than most people's exhaust diameter!!
Will send the turbine housing, downpipe, wastegate return and manifold off to ProCoat next week to get ceramic coated in the good black stuff.

Your current 19X9.5 set up what size tires are your running all around?
Woohoo, Aristo is back with LSD installed!!
Haven't pushed it, but even driving at low speed rear end feels tighter and more controlled, acceleration has definitely slightly improved with the new diff ratio, and all bearings, seals, and diff and subframe bushes were replaced at the same time!
