I also added a hydraboost brake upgrade and Aerospace discs in the front that match the rear. My plan is to eventually do a 88-94mm single turbo on the passenger side. My engine is in the stock location btw.

I have a few pictures of the remote pump setup. As you can see there’s ample room for routing piping with how it’s set up. It may be a while before I do the turbo conversion. I’d like to add a Tremec Magnum 6 speed first and that’s a pricey upgrade. My TA was originally a M21 4 speed so I’d like to get a stick back in it.
That looks killer. Nice work! FYI the Stainless Headers 2.5" logs are working great on the Boosted Bandit with 78mm T4 turbos. We just ran a personal best of 8.22 @ 167 mph at Sick Week in Florida. That's at 3550lbs race weight. The back pressure readings are still below the boost pressure (about 19psi at 23 lbs of boost) almost one to one. Very satisfied with them. No need for the larger 3" logs unless you are going to run a massive turbo on it. The 88mm would probably be a nice choice.
