Awesome build, looks great! Love the color of the comp cover/wastegate.

ok so is the ptt the same thing as the qm as far as the gear drive part?
No. Do not get a PTT. It has major flaws and the designer blames it on the tranny builder or installer of the clutch. Mine blew up on a 2nd gear pull and stripped all the splines off my input shaft. Get a QM from TMZ performance. It has a great feel, is very streetable , and holds power. I'll be shifting at 10k with rev limiter set to 10.5k

Tim Zimmer is def the man to talk to about clutches.

This also looks bad ass if you have the coin:

I agree Tim zimmer is da bomb but I'm actually going to give the competition clutch twin a go this year. They were very interested in my feedback on the clutch and what Rpms I can shift at smoothly.

Andre is deff running the ptt twin this year though so hopefully we both have a bit of luck

I tried fiberglass for the first time to make a duct for the turbo. I never really knew how easy it was to work with, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Basically made it run over the flange on the compressor housing so I couldn't just accidentally drop something in turbo when working on it. Got my tranny and motor installed and starting to weld some v-band stuff up and intercooler piping. The front facing manifold is kinda making everything a total nightmare. The hood I got from cornfed hits on the manifold and not sure what I am gonna do to get around that. I am pretty sure any stock style hood will not work. The Seibon is essentially only 1 layer thick were it hits. Also intercooler piping is a pretty big challenge between the radiator support-intercooler it is a pretty tight space. I am open to suggestions on hood if anyone had any thoughts or maybe a better style of hood.
What do u guys think?

This is just an idea; VIS' G Speed hood. I personally have always liked their look and I have to imagine they have more clearance. Here are a few photos.

dsmDolney just bought the above car with that style hood. Maybe he could chime in on how much clearance there in over a stock hood.

[Dark2g]

Yeah I like how that hood looks as well. I messaged dolney about his. Still not sure if it would work or not. Gonna probably end up just cutting a hole in the hood just sucks cause I really like the hood the way that it is. I am pretty sure I could send it back to john at force and he would remake it for me. He never ran it so he has no idea that it was interfering with being able to use a hood I am pretty sure and he seems cool just not sure how long something like that would take him to get to.
