Nothing is exactly standard about this kit. Butterflies are used because they are compact and inexpensive. They are also somewhat neutrally balanced, so very easy to use with a single boost/vacuum source.
I am using this valve with a 3-way solenoid in an orientation that will open at 3psi boost if the solenoid or controller fails, so its safe for the application.

There was an issue with the pulleys. Somehow the file got screwed up in translation to CAM, so they had to be machined again.
Those are supposed to be back next week with the correct features. Also, the new batch of intercooler fittings are supposed to be in shortly. I had a geometry issue with the first batch.... It was not an error on this end, or the machinist, and (the party involved has been very helpful, so no finger pointing) but the error resulted in having to scrap those first batch of fittings.
As soon as the new corrected pulleys are in next week, I will test fir the tensioner and measure all the offsets, and get those in for machining, as well as the power steering pulley spacer so all the belts related components will be done and I can get the supercharger snouts on order from Sweden.
The same shop that is machining the pulley, fittings, and tensioner is also going to machine the throttle inlets, so cant get those in until those other parts are out of the queue so constantly revising some of the small features on that, like mounting locations for other components, vacuum fitting locations... etc until they can actually go into the mill.
Its inching along. Losing all those machined parts last month was not very fun, but I think I have an idea on how to salvage at least a portion of the "scrap" pulleys for a different project.

Han's brought this new SC and parts to Hell this year and Wow 
all that saw them were standing in line asking questions.
I was so stunned I didn't even take any pic's
Wanted to give an up date on my own SC project on my 86.5
As posted had coolant pipe at back of head let go, while the coolant was out took advantage to install the new Aluminum radiator (they were back ordered during my initial build (perfect fit)
I also relocated the Trans Cooler (up and out) to add a heat exchanger, but didn't compensate for the filler neck, may just have it cut off and blocked, it's a 12 x 12 from "frozen boost".
This past weekend was able to fab-up a bracket to hold the throttle cable and ditch the zip ties
Andrew (AO) came over to our shark tank Sat and Sunday and we started to Shark tune with the MK1, once we got it all setup, we were able to adjust the rich mixture down at idle from 10.5 - 11.5 to 14.7.
However we then discovered that the ST is not seeing the TPS
Troubleshooting showed that the switch is working but signal not getting to the pins on the LH or the EZF connectors.
Thinking about it last night, I need to see if its the engine ground wire and will do more testing tonight after work.
We did see that the current chips look to be a custom in the EZF (for the 2 BAR MAP) and what looks to be a stock factory chip in the LH.
Andrew took his SC GT out for a few blasts, dam that car moves out
And he got a ride before we took mine apart too
Here are recent pic's, more to come as I find the TPS issue.
