What I have been up to since Nov. 06 (new setup)

Well I had just finished my rebuild a few months before Nov. and put about 1000 miles on my car breaking it in on all stock electronics to make sure everything was ok and then my turbo started whining so I took it apart instead of doing more damage by continuing to drive her. Of course like most of us here I decided to do some more upgrade during my down time. Well here it is:
MDC rebuilt the turbo, I picked up the ffim, 70mm tb, ceramic coated hardpipes and bov from a member her in socal. Added an HKS vpc w/550 chip, 550cc inj., new intake, walbro f/p, relocated battery to trunk with Taylor Batt box and did the full 12v rewire, Tekniq Leatherette 500 Steering Wheel with Tekniq Snap-Off quick-release hub, JIC carbonfiber fstb, cusco rear stb and a few other little things.

any pics of your lower manifold runners?
i assume that is a 2j intake mani?
also, i'm going to be breaking in my engine soon as well.
i'll be on a big turbo, so do you think its wise for me to drop in bigger injectors, and the walbro(going in anyways) and throw in the turbo?
Or should i throw in the turbo, stock injectors and afm, and just run they walbro until its fully broken in, then drop in the bigger injectors.
sorry for stealing your thread, just wanted to know how you did it.

A stockish breakin is what I'm going for. I'm going the send off my stock injectors to be flow matched and run either my stock CT-26 or send it off to be rebuilt and maybe upgraded to a 57 trim and later sell that to my cousin when I put the big boy on after break in ;). I want to keep stock boost levels (well, as close as possible, running strictly off the wastegate) and stock fuel trim before I switch in the MAFT-Pro and go speed density with 550's and the BOSS turbo.

But this is all just my plans, you do what you like ;).

Looking great! Much improved. I really like that upper IC pipe going into the throttle body.

I don't even have to see the steering wheel to know it's a sweet wheel ;)
Hope you're happy with it.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have yet to drive with this setup but I am 100% sure I will be pleased. I'll get numbers up when I get a chance to actually get some
