about 2,000$ later, including a 19c turbo, some exhaust manifold port work, 3in dp, full coilovers, slotted dimpled rotors, porterfield r4-s carbon kevlar pads, poly bushing kit, camber plates, wideband, autometer gauges, lightened flywheel, 6 puck clutch, and other misc. things, including a front end collision, it looks like this.

its soon gonna get a fresh coat of paint and i have extra oem wheels to put on it that arnt curbed, along with some new rubber!
havent made it to the dyno with the current set up, but previously with a 16g @ 15psi i put 302rwtq and 247rwhp, so at 18psi on the 19c im expecting somewhere around 270hp and 350tq.
