I got a few more pieces in this week, and as of today, I pretty much have all the major parts needed that will comprise my turbo system.

I received a set of Hardtop Brackets from GarageStar today, and I absolutely LOVE these things! After the cage was installed, the bolt holes for the side brackets were blocked off. When I saw that these had different mounting points for the sides, I absolutely had to have them. When I saw the Facebook post that Ken had gotten more of these ready to ship, I immediately sent him an email. They're really nice quality and the hardware is great as well; dome top allen bolts look great when they're installed. And speaking of installation, I should probably get on that!

I also received my Spec Stage 2 clutch that will be replacing the F1 Stage 2 clutch (Pretty much an OEM clutch) that is currently in the car.

This thing looks like it will do its job quite well compared to the clutch I have now. This clutch is rated to hold 275 lb-ft of torque, much more than I'll ever be making, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to overdo it a little bit with something like this

The clutch itself has a pure kevlar contact surface with a steel backing, so I can imagine it will hold power a LOT better.

Finally, I got in the Turbosmart Fuel Pressure Regulator to add to the assortment of Turbosmart parts that will be going on the 10AE.
