Tial 50mm BOV and a Tial wastegate, cant really go wrong with them.
Nice build though, what kind of hp are you looking to put down?
Car looks cleeaannnn. You could do a little more work on the bumper support and pull that headlight out a bit so its not pushed back.
You have some conflicting parts IMO. The log manifolds are great for under 450 hp, but after that they start to choke and restrict flow. Also, those excessive intake manifolds will seriously destroy your low and mid range power. You will actually lose a lot more power than you will gain along the curve in most applications. You will see some decent gains after 450-500 hp(top end only), but under that the stock manifold is better.
With that in mind, you have a high hp turbo. IMO i would go with a tubular manifold at the very least. Also, the stock intake manifold is actually very well designed. I was never a big fan of the excessive IM just seems like a hack job to me, but thats just my opinion.
Also im not a fan of the larger framed Garrett GT-R series at all. The Borg Warner S series beats them in pretty much every way, and is cheaper, and rebuildable. GT-R is the hype IMO, with the price tag to match. If you want some more information about the Borg Warner S series check the link in my sig, its a decent start for learning about the Borg Warner.
I want that toolbox...
