Just to give everyone an update on our progress: SHE'S ALIVE!!
We finally installed everything we needed in order to start the rebuilt Ptuning/Lustine TA tC at around 5:40AM Thursday morning after another all-nighter of course. We spent about an hour breaking in the motor and changing the oil and filter. Most of today was spent bleeding all the fluid systems on the car, installing the 900cc injectors, as well as adjusting the emanage and taking her out for a spin around the parking lot. Chris from thehotstickers.com came by late in the day to redo all of our decals once again.
We are planning to do a quick alignment and then onto the dyno for another latenight tune. Our custom hubs is en route from the machine shop and should be arriving tomorrow.
Here's a few more pics:

Looking good Mrc. Good luck to you guys at VIR. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to VIR to see the car again. Keeping my eyes glued though for the updates.

The tC was running at VIR, got in the only lap it needed, and should take first place for Modified FWD. They had some tranny problems and called it a day. Then they left with my chairs.
And holy hell, that thing is even faster than before.

408 on 19psi, on 93 octane and the power band was continuing to rise past 7800RPM. They wanted to keep tuning it and get 500 out of it, but when you're tuning 3 hours before the race and on no sleep, I think 408 is a good time to stop.
Ross said the powerband was perfect, it just keeps pulling and never backs down.

^^I would imagine if it's pushing 7800+rpm and on 19 PSI of boost.
Great setup, can't wait till they put a package together for their kits and for built motors.
This using the same Turbine as before?

I'll have pictures up later, the majority of them are from the Koni challenge, since the Time Attack series didn't get much track time.
Congrats to PTuning for taking first place in the Modified FWD. I had to leave before the award ceremony, so I"ll let MrC or Mike chime in on that.

The award ceremony was full of champagne blowing up next to me and GT Live girls who looked like they couldn't care less.
Congrats to Ross and Justin on their wins yesterday!
If you guys think you have problems, just look at James' car...

That Civic was still drivable, it just looked like the body got beaten up a little. The S2000 and that Koni Z4 were actually nothing compared to the APR VW that wrecked Saturday morning. It took them probably 10 minutes just to get it off of the flatbed and get all four wheels on the ground because it was so mangled. The safety crew came with a truck bed full of destroyed parts, too... it was pretty gnarly.
This is what happens when you get towards the end of a season, I suppose.
