You should have went with wiggins. I can see those v-bands causing a slight leak if the IC piping isnt perfect to the tee.

these v-bands i went with brings o-ring grooved on one of the flanges. if its goo to hold 90psi of fuel, its good enough to run 35psi of boost.

wow rob nice progress!

finally started up on my car again... got about 6 weeks for the first NOPI event

Things to do:
1. take all sound deadening material out of back seat and trunk area
2. change fuel system to a return setup
3. install RBC IM and re-route intercooler piping
4. install new turbo and manifold
5. have custom 3" downpipe made and dumptube
6. get tuned

Went to work first on the sound deadening material and all i gotta say is DRY ICE is the shit... stuff came up sooo easily i was amazed.

Here is everything that came out of the back seat/trunk area... filled up the box about half-way, probably weighs around 10lbs

We sprayed the back seat/trunk area with a Dupli-color Texturized Metallic Graphite spray paint.... came out really nice.
Still need to touch up a few spots and then put a clear coat over it to protect it.

RBC Intake Manifold w/P2R TB adapter and gaskets have been ported out...

Due to clearance issues, i couldn't make the port a true 70mm all the way in, had to flare it in from 70mm around the bottom iac port.

A few pics of my P2R Turbo manifold...

The fuel system has been all measured up, lines have been cut, fittings are on. Should have it on the car tonight

if all goes smooth.
