Good work so far. Are you going to use a metal head gasket?

no just OEM head gasket. Found two T25's for $150 :naughty: instead of rebuilding the T28. but i hate the downgrade :frown: its only boosting 6-7lbs, but i will install boost controller and crack it to 10-12lbs depending on which set up i feel the most safe with and i will hit the track once again, maybe post some pics and videos for you guys ;)

oh its been awhile fellow nico members :rolleyes: but no worries car is still alive :) some plans coming up for it though. Ichiba 5 lug conversion so i can mount my genuine r32 gtr wheels :naughty: Q45 brakes. upgrading to a precision sc60 turbo and depending on funds possibly a full race manifold. :naughty: have yet to decide on what injectors i wanna run? STi injectors seem tempting for price but who knows. i will try to keep you guys posted
