I am finally done with my build and just set up my dyno day at DBperformance in Roger,MN. I am going for 500-550 awhp and is still my DD. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but I hope she doesn't blow up on me. I am bleeding the brakes and burping the power steering this weekend and she hits the dyno 10/14/11. Anyone have anything I should recheck before going there?
Here are some pictures of the finished product:

Check/fix any boost leaks.
Shane also wrote up a nice checklist that is good to go through.

I read through his checklist and is a great checklist. Can't seem to get the feed line fitting on the turbo to seal but it should be taken care of before next Friday. I am going to do about 10 BLT's between now and next Friday to ensure it is sealed up.

Use hairspray on the inside of the couplers/outside of pipes, seals them up, makes them hold good. What's ur setup?

Check your power estimates at the door! 500 on this dyno on AWD is not impossible but I have seen a *lot* of cars come and go on that dyno and not get anywhere close. If you make 400, be happy, be very very happy! Stuff happens. Don't give up. If you run into a limitation, learn from it and come back once you have issues/combo sorted out.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I will do all that this weekend. And I ended up buying the fitting from STM along with a coupler I will need to change out before the dyno.
I have a borg s259 ett with a custom twin scroll t4 housing, DP t4 manifold,turbosmart 45mm WG, v-band exhaust, stock 6 bolt rods with evo 9 pistons, JMF race intake mani, VR speed FMIC, built head, a lot of bolt ons

Isn't that kind of a small turbo for a t4 housing? Or is the fact it's twin scroll gonna make it not matter? And your biggest hurdle is fuel system, having enough pump to keep up with the demand of 500awhp on a dyno dynamics.
