Kev ... Simply inspirational mate 
And "OhioState944" ... Your first picture of Kev’s beauty is the BEST pic I have ever seen posted on RL
Let there be many more Turbo’ed 968's – This is the way forwards for our humble 968 in my opinion – Simply love it
Leaving the 993 crowd for dead in the best fashion

Thanks everyone for the nice comments and Gabe for posting the pics. As I said in the first post, it would have never happened if it wasn't for the help and support of a few friends.
There are few bugs still to fix. The hood fitment is one of them as I'm sure you can see in the pics. The stupid odometer gear broke on the way home from the show, so I want to fix that before I put any more miles on the car. Once it's broke it, I'll take it to the dyno, to see how she performs.
The car will be at the Fest for those that asked.
A few specs:
-S2 3.0l block with twin oil squirters
-3l crank, Mahle 104.5mm pistons, Pauter rods
-2.7 Lindsey stage 2 head, Webcam
-Spec stage 3 hybrid clutch, Fidazna flyweel
-Lindsey Super75/10 turbo with SFR 3" down pipe
-Lindsey 4" exhaust
-Lindsey MAF with Vitesse Chips and SMT6, 75lb. injectors, Bosch 044 fuel pump
-Lindsey fuel rail, intake, and stage 2 IC
-Lindsey wastegate and boost controller
-ZT2 wideband
-Koni coil-overs, M030 Sways, Charlie Arms, GTS Big Blacks, solid bushings.
-new Porsche DME harness, Ice Shark full battery kit, and every sensor replaced.
I promise to post more pics soon.

Have you dyno'ed the car yet?
What type of exhaust do you have? I've experimented with a couple and recently settled on a Borla after having the baffles fail on a couple of others.

Joe

No dyno yet. I went with a Borla muffler because it was the only one that I could find in a 12". I needed the muffler to be as short as possible to give more room to make the bend for the tip out the back. Funny enough, this muffler isn't as loud as my previous 16" Magnaflow.

The Borla I have is a lot quieter as well. I was shocked the first time I started the car and plan to add a shift light to avoid over reving when racing. I also had a MagnaFlow originally but the baffles kept breaking because of the back pressure.
