Looks good

But I've never seen a T61 with a 3" compressor inlet...is it supposed to be a 4" intake/filter?

From talking to Kean at boostlogic this one will have the 4". unless I miss understood him. The kit should arrive in 2 more weeks. Then I will post some photos of the kit.

Lets try this again. The kit with 550cc injectors is around $5000.00. I have $1000.00 in gauges and controllers and 500 in 3mm headgasket and misc parts. When I am done this phase it should be around 7500.

Go with an AEM and get rid of the Mass Airflow sensor. Other wise you will still have the annoyance of possibly having the engine cut when you hit the gas and then have to brake. If you stay with the MAS setup get the larger newer one that comes in the SupraTT. It has much better flow.

as far as i know, i am the only one with a boostlogic parts on their SC here. I really dont have the full kit from them, I am only using the FMIC pipes, and Manifold. Of those 2 things the quality looks awesome!

From the things mentioned it looks like your on the right track. I dont know what esle you are going to need, but if you do a search I am sure that you will be able to find all the info you can get.
