Andrew, I just reread your whole build thread again. What greatness! I would just keep the rims and tires you have. I love my TT. I also saw where you posted that two of them are bent. Shoot, if t was me, I would send them off and have them repaired. Be good to go. Your car is a true sleeper, like mine. Keep it that way !! JMO

You should have your factory TT wheels widen on the two that are bent. A guy on supraforums did that to his TT wheels. Ultimate sleeper look.

The front wheels do not look bent, they seem to be off-balance somehow. I had discount tire balance them and they seem off-balance at highway speeds. Then when I brake the rotors get warped. Since it can't be balanced out, I assume the wheels are messed up. I don't know of a shop that can fix the issue, and so I've been thinking of just getting RPF1's and installing the Shine Auto body kit.

On a side note, I got the turbo back today. Those fins were definitely broken before. The dump pipe is going to be a ***** to get positioned right since the down pipe is so close to the wastegate.

Update:

Finished the car yesterday, started it drove around the block and put it back in the garage. I had to go to work.

Then today, started it, took it to get gas and enjoyed the smiles on the way back home. This dump pipe is the perfect sound, it is exactly what I wanted. I am glad it's all back together and running smoothly. I only have it set to 20psi and it feels plenty fast for now, and still spinning the wheels. I am tuned up to 32 psi, but I can go up from there now. So lets see how much power I really have when I am all the way turned up, hoping for 35 psi and 830whp...

I am on the same Southbend clutch that was installed since completing the build. Why do you ask?
