Nice build, everything looks well done. I'm also running an AEM on my project if I can ever get off my dead a** and build the wiring harness. A 1050U to be exact.I really need to get around to doing a build thread as well.
Good luck,
Jared

Why did the turbo stop spinning while it was running?

it'll spin on a cold warm up but once it hits its warm idle speed there isn't enough exhaust pressure to keep it spinning
