So since I really dont have a set 5sfte post just my "need a little help" post, I figured Id make one aswell.

What I have:

Built 5sfe:
CP pistons - In
3sgte rods - In
crank milled to fit the rods - In
PP'd head - In
Metal head gasket - In
ARP head studs - In

Turbo parts:
3s Manifold, Turbo, Oil lines, Coolent lines - In, In, In, In
DG custom IC piping - In
Ebay intercooler (cant remember the size) - In
Injectors 460cc - In
Walbro fuel pump - In

Batt relocated to trunk - In
Devils own WI kit - In
Turbo xs manual boost controller - In
Emanage ultimate - here, waiting on the harness.
Boost gauge - In
EGT Gauge - In
AEM UEGO - In

Im rather suprized I havent had any major set backs yet (knock on wood!). Ive taken my time and set a daily goal up for myself and tried to stick with it. Even when I got ahead I cleaned up and planned the next day out. This way Ive been 80% ahead of myself on ordering small things like nuts and bolts that I missed or didnt have from used parts. Would be 100% but some how the tech's at my local toyota cant order the correct part even if I give them the part #'s.

Thanks for the CF insite frosty, I still have my stock hood and a friend whos decent with clear coat so Ill have to start sanding it down.

Im hoping to find just where the FE head gives in, from there Ill let batman set the bar for how well the FE head can be modded for better flow and then I may consider a full standalone and GE head swap.
