Great choice on the GT30's. Which trim though?
Todd K. speaks highly of these turbos. They were what I wanted on my car originally when it was at Protomotive.

Wow!

It's been over a year since your "upgrade" started. I would be going bonkers right now awaiting completion after this long.

Mine is at Protosport as I write this getting its "stage 2" with turbo's changed from GT2871R's to GT3076R's.
