Other than that everything looks great. Love the scull cut out also :) As for the clutch, those twin discs can be a real pita, if you put it in that long ago and haven't used it I would take it back out just to examine it to be safe. If it is anything like the tilton I had it doesn't take much to give you issues.
Yeah I didnt take pix of the firewall since the ones of the fitment, I covered it with therma shield and put up a fiberglass heat tarp (the same material I am using to cover the hotside)
As for the clutch, I popped a starter on the flywheel, and I put a new one in tonite, same thing...it wont disengage from the flywheel and popped the new starter in short order....I need to give ClutchMasters a call and see if they have known issues and need to space the starter...
Thanks for the props everyone! After tonite, I am a bit annoyed at it...lol

well that hasnt been completely decided on just yet, but how I was running it when it was twincharged was with an Apexi AFC. That's how I am going to run it until I can get a proper ECU tune. There are just a few people that are able to hack the ECU and scale injectors and the like. I just havent decided who I am going with yet.
