What clutch set up did you get? Good luck, you'll enjoy the difference between the sc and the turbos.

Gurgen? I don't know him. Does he have any info on it around here somewhere?
I have a JWT clutch and UR flywheel in there.
Just got home from working on it tonight and I can't wait!!!

OK so an update on today's work.
I got off work and went down to UMS @6:00. Kevin had the engine ready to go back in so we got it bolted back up and I cut up my Nismo bumper and got the IC mounted in place. I cut out the center hole where the plate would go for better flow. This is going to look sick.
The plan is to have it all done tomorrow night and there is dyno time set up for Thurs at 9:00am for the tune. We are going to also do my D-specs and SPC rear camber kit that night so I should have it back on Friday if all goes well.

BOV $250
UTEC $770
Tuner $350
EBC $250
Spacer $200 (sold my last one
)Misc parts $200
Not sure what the labor is going to end up at. He gives me good deals on this stuff. I think the going rate is ~$2,000-2,500 for an install and tune.
How much boost are you going to be running on your setup? Also is your internal parts been replaced with forged pistons, crank, cams, lifters?
I have heard that you don't want to run over 8lbs of boost if you are on stock internals. Is this true??

For now I plan to run ~7psi. The goal is 400whp but Tony will tune it extra safe regardless.
When I build the engine we will get new pistons, rods, bearings, head studs and maybe sleeve the block.
