Cool! Very clean. I like the wastegate dead center like that. How much was total project including the engine? What PSI are you tuned on? Was the ARP head studs the only thing you changed on the internals of the engine then? Thanks for the build page.

The total project was quite a bit since I bought pretty much everything brand new I still haven't added it all up yet though. I would say around $3k. I'm running 9 PSI and the ARP head studs are the only thing in the motor that isn't stock.

Snail Spools You!
Congrats on the results man! 
I already see a few reasons why you put down more power than I did on my tune
One is the design of the manifold with wastegate in center, another is bigger turbo, and third is 9 psi as opposed to 6.7.
Overall great job!

Took 2 days to swap the motors and install the ARP head studs and new timing belt and water pump.

Yes it's an open dump tube, it sounds awesome.
I don't have any videos yet I'm still working out some of the kinks with the new setup. I still need a real oil catch can because my dipstick was popping up every time I would boost. I still have to convert to the 2 wire IACV cause there's just a block-off plate on it right now. It's fine if your foot is on the gas but very light throttle is super annoying and almost un-driveable. So as tempting as it is to romp on it everywhere I go, I haven't been.
I have the Blox boost controller. It works good so far.
