So fellas I finally got it all done! I did all the work myself at my buddies shop on a lift except for putting in the front suspension which he did for me. My only experience on Porche's is oil changes minor maintenance and exhaust work, so turbo removal, intercoolers, and suspension was all new to me. Wasn't that bad now that I look back on it and was worth it so now if something goes wrong I will hopefully know where to start. I'm very happy with the outcome and cant wait to get the car aligned and maybe corner balanced. Car makes great power up top and am very happy with the EPL flash although Tony tells me its a mild 18g flash to start and once I send him data logs he will tweak it for me to get even more power! Once the stock clutch goes I'll do injectors at that time and bring it up to EPL for a custom dyno tune. I could probably do this install in half the time now that I've done it once and gone back and forth on some things that didn't fit quite right mainly ic's and minor odds and ends. Was ready to sell the car for $22 and a 6 pack of High Life at points during the install although cursing and yelling at the car seemed to help me along and gave the guys a good laugh at the shop. They said they've never seen anyone flick a car off so much. I will keep you all posted in the next week or so as I get the car finalized with suspension adjustments and tune and give my final impressions.
SHOUT OUTS and THANK YOUS to: Tony @ EPL for always answering my calls and questions I hope I'm not too much of a pain in the ***. You da man! Gary @ Rockville Motors for letting me keep the car on the lift for about a week and a half to let me get this s?it done after work. ( I owe you big time bro!) Mike @ Blouch Turbo for building my 18g's in record time! (less than a week)

P.S I will post some pics of turbos and some of the build process when I get them downloaded.

By The Way.....
Hey fellas I've got a set of H&R springs for sale if anyone's interested? They only have about 8K on them in perfect condition. Looking for $225 + shipping which I think is fair but will take best offer.

Update. Final tweak on flash should happen next week and will have her on the dyno within 2. The car hauls *** and is running top notch! Just a couple minor tweaks Tony is going to do for me as I get him the logs he wants. I will post video and dyno #'s hopefully sooner than later. Bringing this thread back from the dead.
