The interior and the engine were done after the photos.
Plastic suspension bushings
23mm/31mm torsion bars
Bilstein RSR dampers
FVD front shock tower brace
Welded gusseted support of rear shock towers
TRG sway bars
Kinesis K5 wheels
Big Red’s all four corners
Interior:
Removed rear seats, welded in roll bar, finished in black felt and black leather.
RS door panels, black leather
Recaro SPG seats, shell painted to match body
Sparco 5-point harness
Momo racing wheel.
Engine:
Crank shaft cross drilled by Pauter Machine
Pauter Chrome-moly connecting rods
Mahle 3.4L Racing P&Cs
Nirosist rings
Racing valve springs and retainers
RUF aluminum pressure plate
Kokeln Turbo
ARP studs
Pat Williams Racing injector blocks (using stock manifold)
Motec fuel injection/engine management
Garretson Intercooler (left over from prior owner).
I’ll likely be switching to the Carrera manifold this winter. The stock manifold is too limiting.

Craig,
Lovely mods with a bullet proof engine. How abt your exhaust and headers? I think all you need now is the K27HF2 turbo, dont you find the Kokeln turbo running out of breath at higher revs?

Sameer, Thanks. I also went with GHL headers and GHL dual exhust. The Kokeln turbo may lack a little in the higher revs, but the car is plenty fast in its current set up. If I swap out the stock manifold for the Carrera 3.2 manifold, I'll gain plenty.

Craig,
There are a lot of threads on EFI conversions here including the carrera 3.2 manifolds. Yes it does flow much better than the stock but the stock is good upto 550-600bhp tops so unless your going for more power, I'd stic with the stock but have it ported and flowed. Off course with your current setup and 3.2 intake you will see better numbers but the question you ave to ask yourself is if it's worth the effort and money put into the conversion worth that little extra power unless off course your going for close to 600bhp or more.
