The transmission parts are still underway, but we got our new custom torque converter back (specs coming soon!). So we are finishing the main stuff now 
Intercoolers are in with the frames. Now just need to attach the Vorsteiner carbon ducts. Turbos and headers are complete with change to fittings. These headers will be attached to the Turbosmart wastegates. We took a picture of the collector so you could see the inside quality of the merge.
While we finish buttoning up the power parts, our Vorsteiner new Front Bumper and Rear Wing showed up! This will be the first VRT Cab that we know of. Some modifications may need to be made to the rear wing for the convertible to work. We are anxious to check it out. More coming soon

Here is a couple pics of the fittings installed to convert the stock to Garrett for the oil and water.
Here is how you install the fittings after you cut off the factory ones

Dan...thank you for all the pics and explanations. Its great to see you actually explaining what you are doing to the transmission and you aren't even selling it yet! Can you give a few more details on the torque converter...What stall speed is it going to be set to? How many clutches are in the torque converter?
My converter that IPT modified put the stall at 3200 RPM. They said its hard to add clutches to a TC that comes with only one, so they just replaced that clutch with a carbon ceramic.
Good luck!!
