Thanks for the positive encouragement! Its been a fun build so far!...Sorry its been slow but have made some progress! The motor is all back together ended up going with gt500 injectors part number (FMS-M9593-G302) they fit perfectly and plugged right in so well see...Oil feed and drain fittings are in, built the rest of my downpipe and exhaust over the weekend. (cant wait to hear it) Hopefully going to order the wastegate, intercooler and bov next week... can not wait. As im getting close to being done with the build ive been starting to think a lot more about the tuning. Theres a few places within 45mins of me that might be an option but was also considering a mail tune?... its all new to me so the process should be interesting... I just hope the places near me are reputable if I do go that route... On a similar note I still haven't decided if I should change to a 2 bar sd setup or keep the maf... any input is greatly valued... Is this something I should talk about with whoever tunes it? idk...

Appreciate the support!

Mounted the intercooler! Cut some of the grille support out, flipped the tranny cooler around and ended up with plenty of room. Also wrapped the exhaust and pulled my busted rear end out... Have a few silicone couplers and a section of pipe to order and ill have the cold side just about done. Next week im gunna bring pipe to class and TIG my BOV on... Making progress!

I painted my parts after I wrapped them w that black heat paint. Not sure if it actually helps but looks better than white.

Everything looks really good.

Thanks guys! Cant wait to finish! I might end up painting the wrap before im done that does look nice... Made a little more progress hooked up my wideband and wired the light for the boost gauge and started running the tube, installed my pillar gauge but I think I want to paint it to match the factory pillar color... also extended my O2 wires... I had started it the other day without them or the intake piping hooked up (which did feel great to hear fire up!) after hooking the o2s up it will hardly run so im extremely eager to get my tune straightened out now. I was really wanting to bring it to get dyno tuned, as of to today im leaning toward slowhawk in bridgewater ma. (1.5 hours from me) but now I think maybe I should get a mail tune to work out any or all problems before I get on a dyno... really I just wanna do whats more cost effective.. is it worth getting the mail tune? or just trailer it up?
Also what do you guys think about this BOV location? Two choices (top or bottom)

I say bottom it looks a little cleaner and you could probably see it better through the grill
