I think you are still quite a bit far away from finish. There's all the piping from the exhaust manifold that is still missing, then there's the intercooler that I don't see either, and from the pics look like the ECU is still a huge mess also all the lines to the radiator are not there yet. I say you are maybe 50% finished.
It will be a scary car when it's done htough!

How are your hands after doing all that heat wrapping? I did that on my last car. Not sure if I would do it again just for maintenence reasons, and a little bit of lazyness.

I think we spend around 1.5 month to finish build...wait some parts from Japan again...something custom made at TRD factory.
We have plans go to 750 hp with 1.6 bar.

Is this for daily driven? If it is I wouldn't suggest wrapping the turbine and exhaust manifold. Moisture will trap in there and cause your manifold to rust really quick. There is a new coating that you can apply on the manifold and it would reduce the heat about 25%. I'm glad your project is coming along.
