If you get a larger turbo, I'd recommend the GTX2867, on your 2.2 engine that will spool fast (due to the large CC) and blow hard all the way to about 7250 RPM, it should easily give you 400 BHP, more likely 425.
If you drive as fast as your video with just 300 BHP, you will be flying with 425 BHP. The difference between those 2 numbers is much more than you'd imagine. Much more than 450 BHP is hard to use in practice.

You are certainly working hard, and you bodywork skills look good, keep going
Turbo wise we are using the exhaust house form dbilas, and the rest from garrett, After discussions with the turbo guy we are building a billett gt2863 With race bearings... since we are not pushing beyonde 400 bhp..and the engine should be good for 7800rpms......

Epic work here. 
Only everytime I see this body shape (and the recent pics of Nev's car), I think the front arches are way to big for even a trackday-only car. (Full race mode dropped on big 18" slicks with no suspension travel to speak off they might be ok...

I agree ...but no time to correct that now..... maybe NeXT Winters Project redo the front arces....

It'll be worth it in the end, it always is. So long as you drink A LOT in order to forget the pain of it all
Looks boss. Looking forward to seeing it painted. What colour is it going to be?

Hope so....
Colour: in the end I ended up with silver , wanted a light colour that makes good contrast with the mesh/vents on the car....without being to flash(the looks car needs to be tuned down a bit) .....but we are doing a twist on the silver.. first sprayng a black base colour, then spray House of kolors silver ultra mini flakes and build layers until its sparkely silver
