Indeed!! thank you so much, got it all installed and works great. The Tanabe's are a little dirty, but over all seem alright, they still compress and rebound, they rebound a little slower than the KYB's did so they might need a rebuild, but nothing appears to be blown
*Edit*
In case you were curious, the ride height is almost the same as the coil overs, only like 1/4" difference on both front/rear....i think it'll be jusssssst fine when i get the 17's

Yes, that is correct. I was wondering there for a few if it was the right decision but seems to be now...and so far.

Glad you got it up and working Erik. Even at low boost, I bet it makes a big difference. I can't wait to see it. I know it was an expensive endeavor, even before the troubles you had.
After I installed the turbo, I saw a big difference, specially in gears 3-5) and I'm only running 5 psi and running on stock clutch. I am hoping that if I replace the clutch I will get more (stock clutch slips) and then I can get it professionally tuned to maybe 6 or 7 psi, but nothing higher.

Nope, these are already touchy as it is. If I do anything I will updrade the shaft and bearings. Down the road I will look at a fuel rail, fuel pump and intake manifold though hopefully.
Agreed. I was never after a monster or high hp with this. I just wanted more than stock with something that was minimally invasive. I <3 it!
