I have the v.1.0 design of Ben's AWD coil-overs with the welded, nickel plated steel lower rear shock mounting brackets... waiting on the v.2.0 lower shock mounts (CNC machined aluminum madness I tells ya!)

Yes, I do have the wheel studs on my hubs... went with the Rays Engineering 12x1.5 short lugs in gun-metal gray.

What setting do you have your Koni's on? Mine is set about mid-way... rears still seem a bit "soft".

My fronts are stiff. I'm pretty sure the springs are 350's and I have the actual Koni's about mid-way as well. I'll probably swap the springs out for a smaller rate eventually since the springs themselves are pretty cheap. My adapters that I'm ordering are going to have me swapping to Nuts as well...and I want some Rays. Anodized Red!

As for the rears, Ben gave me a pretty good price for the whole set up. I am running cut B&G's and stock shocks....so they DEFINITELY need to be changed up. I bounce around like a 12 year old on a MoonBounce at the neighbors birthday party . Probably going to go with Koni yellows in the rear with the Kaplhenke adjustable setup once I finish up my wheel project.

Good to see he finally sold those wheels, he's had them up for sale for a while. They look awesome!

Oh hell... I know you all are lazy to click on the link, so here you go:

Made some changes...

Mounted the Greddy CBV/BOV with the piston pointing toward the throttle body:


All-aluminum radiator and modified IPD bar/plate intercooler (note the longer port, and relocation toward center of the top tank):


Oil cooler installed with hard lines (aircraft grade aluminum hydraulic lines with Russell end fittings):


What it looks like from underneath (including the mounting bracket):


Detail of the flex lines (silicone core 450psi rated hydraulic lines with push-on barbed Russell fittings). Also made custom mounting bracket to keep things from moving around:


What it looks like from the front, with bumper installed (will have to do a bit of fab work on the air guide, as the hard lines hang down about 2" below the guide, but well above the bumper bottom):


What it all looks like installed, less the air canister:


Lot of work here... personally I put in about 20 hours labor (approx. 2 hours after work each day x 7 days plus one Saturday afternoon). Most of the time was spent doing fabrication of turbo plumbing, brackets, bending lines, mounting stuff, etc. Car runs great... just need to dial in the Greddy and do a slight re-tune on the Turbo Tuner ECU.

Amazing progress! One of the best on here, no doubt.

Thanks guys!

The wheels have been refinished since the first pictures:



Oh yeah... added these too (Porsche 911 T monoblocks)...



Oh yeah... added these to the rears (Porsche 911 T monoblocks)...



Weird forum... can't edit, and a reply on my own thread produces this ^

Looks good Nick! That's exactly what I plan to do w/ my oil cooler lines as well.

nice work on the recirc, what size is that piping? looks like you're preparing for some higher air volume

All turbo piping is 2.5", except for the recirc, which is 2". CBV piston is 50mm.

Yes... lots, hopefully in the near future
