Looking good. I'm a little lost here looking at the second photo though. Are you adding a single turbo? I will be getting a 4 post lift in the spring although I think that the 2 post lift would be much more helpful with maintenance but that is a whole other discussion.

Matt from everything I can see, that's a turbo motor. What's upgraded are the silicone tubing on the turbo, different injectors?
Mark, nice job on cleaning up the motor.
Here is a turbo motor Chris and I pulled out couple weekend ago.

Just a clutch replacement -- previously installed disk was too thin, slipped and had very poor friction characteristics. Went with a standard RS disk, all is well again.
A video clip of the friction point before the disk change -- it didnt grab until the very end of the travel, virtually at the up stop -- very hard to drive the car this way -- you'll have to turn the volume all of the way up to hear the engine idle:

Fired her up yesterday. Just a test fire, but it sounded great. Rebuilt heads, rebuilt turbos, LWF/clutch, RS engine mounts, 2 wheel drive conversion (ala GT2), RS shifter......and soon Fister Turbo Mufflers.
The "Black Widow" will be the test mule. (The nickname "Black Widow" came about because there were a couple of black widow spiders in the shop that were intent on making their homes among the turbo's parts). I can't wait to break her in, then we can see how she really performs!
