Hi all, figured I would post some pics of my build process so far. More details below. I'll have a photo/video shoot done soon as well for better pics along with some dyno numbers as I progress through the mods.
Cosmetics:
Full PPF and Ceramic Coating
Techart Rear and Side Parts
HRE 21/22 S104SCs
Please update with dyno and draggy info as you mod. I have a thread going of a similar build.
When you upgrade to PTME turbos, you have to switch out the MAP sensors. The 2nd sensor at the back right intake, IS A NIGHTMARE! Everything else is pretty straightforward.

Beautiful build you got there! Question what made you pick the H&R springs? As most on the forum have went with Techart. How is the ride? As a shop locally is recommending them to me.
Thank you!! I went with the H&R's based on research and I "thought" they dropped the car a little lower then the Techarts. Ride is VERY similar to stock, maybe about 5% bouncier but I have PASM and once that is activated it seems to firm up. Handles fantastic through twists and spirted driving. The one thing I discovered with PASM and springs is that the front wheels on a PASM vehicle will NOT lower as much as those without PASM with springs. Even though these mfr. claim a similar drop on their springs if you have the lower 10mm factory PASM, they will still sit slighter higher with after market springs it seems like. Not sure why this is, was told H&R and possibly others actually redid some of their spring rates and possible heights for PASM vehicles to take advantage of this system but that is not confirmed by H&R or a legit source of truth. Regardless, happy where it sits and rides smooth.
