Front page updated with future plans, parts that are removed and installed. Tuning to take place next week.
Progression.. The turbo kit is almost completely installed. Got the charge pipe powder coated. BOV installs under the charge pipe. This car is going to sound either annoying, beautiful...
I will have to wait for my year end bonus before pulling the trigger on the next step. Total costs for the body kit + wheels/tires + paint/labor is looking to be like $40,000 ?

Torque Solutions turbo blanket and Radium catch can have been obtained.
Turbo getting fitted. Charge pipe will require some modding and welding to fit properly with the EOS Manifold. Once that's done it will be powder coated. The velocity stack will be coming off and I'll be using a filter.
Stuff that's getting done while in the shop

Bought new on October 2020 and have 12,600 miles. I work from home and have a daily driver, so all of those miles are from taking rides at lunch time, evenings, and weekends. I love driving this car.
Car is dropped off.
Still waiting on a few things, but work starts today
Pump, Axle, Flex, Port, Turbo, Tune, Transmission Tune.... Install show be finished Friday. Mike Botti will be by next week to do the tuning. Should have the car back by next Friday.
Some pics of the cerakoted kit and...
Car is on the calendar for 7/18. Should have all the hot parts ceramic coated by then. The powder coater has been backed up with work and it's taken a while to get everything back.
We're also waiting on some 2 small items for the kit from Titan Motorsport. I also grabbed a turbo blanket. The...
Nickname from when I used to be in the military. The whole nickname was Bugatti Mimosa. Then it was shortened to Mimosa. It was some shit the team called me because they felt I was bouji.
I've had the Armytrix Catless DP w/ Simulator for about 4500 miles and have had no CEL yet. I know someone who's had it for about 15K miles. If it's going to burn out... I guess it will be a while.
People who say it doesn't work or that it fails don't own it. There are also no accounts of this...
New Seibon roof spoiler is in and doing a test fit. Like a glove.
Edit... actually like OJ's glove. I will need to take this to my body shop for flush fitment.
The 6 port Full Race Kit arrived and Its off to the powder coater to get some Cerakote sprayed on the hot parts. I'm also powder coating the new charge pipe to match the rest of the accent parts in the car.
The 6466 housing is polished, so I going to keep it that way. Looks like a center piece...
Full Race turbo kit has arrived.
Exhaust parts of the kit are being Cerakoted today and the charge pipe is getting resprayed to match the other parts under my hood.
I am keeping the turbo housing polished since it just looks so damn good.
The McMurtry Speirling is what I'm hoping trickles down to us mere mortals eventually. The sound that this thing makes is visceral. The sound of speed, motor whine, downforce, and that damn fan!
I'm glad that more companies are getting EVs out there on the road. The Kia EV6 (seen a few in my...
FInally! Full Race Kit is ordered with Tial BOV/Wastegates. Matt at Insomnia had a spare 6466 with a T51r mod laying around (not sure how I'm going to like that noise in the long run) and I grabbed that from him as well.
Titan said that kit should be here in the next few days. Now just waiting...
