Thanks! The most difficult part has been clearance, mainly getting the downpipes back in! Had to remove motor mount and got it put back last night with downpipes in, but ran out of time to finish bolting everything back up. I'm also going to do a dyno comparison to see what gains, if any, i achieved.

Welp, car is done. I turned up my DWP on JB4 to 100 to keep the wastegates as closed as possible at idle/cruise, it's doing pretty good, you can slightly hear more turbo whistle at idle and cruise though. WOT sounds and feels good, not the exact sound i was hoping for like my Evo with this same kind of setup, but nonetheless i like it. I'll try to get a vid or two as well as a new dyno sheet up soon.
