Yes, time for a new thread. New build coming up.
The goal is 300 whp. Though at first, since it's going to be a daily driver, I will aim for a smaller 220-250 whp until I get a solid tune down. It will also be done right, with chinese parts. It will look good and work as good as it looks and it's going to be reliable.

MAX deadline for completion: September 10th
Goal: make it feel like a stock boosted production car that's fast as fuck and is somewhat luxury and reliable. Idiot proof so anyone can get in and drive. Daily driver to work and school. Did I mention RELIABLE? Do it once, make it run for a few years.
Engine arrives on the 25th of July.
Turbo arrives on the 29th of July.
Status as of July 24th: everything is disconnected and the old engine is ready to be pulled out. Tons of parts in the mail.
