Thanks man. I don't have any experience with the Greddy kit, but initially looked at it (and the JWT kit) due to easier options for mounting my coolers. I also didn't want to move around all of the reservoirs, etc. I had in my engine bay. The pricing on the GTM kit was compelling enough, however, that I went that route anyway. The only minor gripe I have thus far is that I still haven't found a suitable place to put my coolers - the transmission and oil coolers are now mounted between the intercooler and radiator. I want to put them back behind the vents in my kuruma so I may end up standing them up long ways so they clear the GTM I/C and intake piping.

I've finally got around to posting the pix from the turbo build
Dropped the car off 1 mile under 83k
Old engine bay...so long Vortech. It has a very nice home now
Engine is out
Rob & Josh having fun
A few pix of the engine with the transmission, momentun headers, and ART pipes installed.
Tear down begins...
Lucy's guts just sitting there on a rack
Time for paint, polish, & chrome!
Front timing cover professionally polished this time...doing it by hand with it in the car was no fun
Alternator, crank pulley, and power steering pump
Finally...everything arrives from GTM
strip tease...
Stage 4 transmission
Snails
On with the motor build!
...and installing all the shiny new stuff
Not much room for the turbos
Almost ready
Up she goes
The bigger intercooler meant I needed to move my coolers...still need to find a better location...
As she sits today
