Good on you for sticking with RUF. I am a fan of the old school so I 100% support the spirit of your choices. You have an old school car so it makes sense to stick with old school components. It is kind of like amplification for guitar/bass... new solid state tech is better on paper, but there is just something that an old tube amp has in personality. Call it mojo.
There is always something out there that is newer and shinier and "better" but if you were after that kind of car you would own a modern turbo, and not be putting classic Ruf parts on a classic Turbo that will try and kill you should you get lazy while driving hard.
I dig. Your car looks incredible, and classic RUF parts would be the only parts I would personally add for reasons of history (The Yellow Bird and stock Turbo were dream cars of mine as a kid).
But then I am a sentimental guy when it comes to cars and musical instruments.

I feel the same way about airplanes, the P 51 mustang was was and is a classic that represents a peroid of time.
