Thanks everyone, sorry for the late replies and lack of updates. I've been out of town for the past week. I'll be sure to swing by the shop and take some new pics and post an update ASAP.

She's all taken apart, Paul got her all cleaned up and ready for Taylor to start his magic.



More to come next week!

Taimur is that in place of the "Blow off" "Pop Off" valve? Is blow off valve then integrated into the housing? Sorry for the dumbass question.

Cheers.

Another mini update... I decided to do a clutch since labor is much cheaper with the whole back already out. I went with a carbon kevlar clutch for some added peace of mind.

Mounts are being fabbed already, turbos should be hung within the next week!

Congratulations RAC3ME that is a great build and you will love the TT Gallardo. I have heard fantastic things about Dallas Performance's fabrication skills. I look forward to seeing your car one day, I'm sure it will be impressive.
