I just don't want to have to pay for another front bumper, Origin is expensive.

It felt ridiculous, especially since I hadn't hit boost in the car since the fall... The most notable change was how loud it is, it used to be super quiet.

Well due to the wastegate/spring issues, I'm only running 6 psi right now. But it made 300whp at 6psi.

I can assure you that not sleeping for 3 days, driving all over the place, and driving at a track on no sleep was not that much fun... The car however is very fun.

It's a lot smaller than the SC, and it's at the bottom of the hill.

Somewhat true. Sound Performance tuned the car on the old motor before I bought it, and the tune was kind of a joke. They stuck a silencer in the exhaust to keep the car from running lean.

The current setup is stock compression, but I am running mk3 440cc injectors.

Now I really wonder what kind of numbers I have been making with my SC. All-in-all, your car is a real inspiration, and will continue to stay in my top 10 SC's list.

I'm not really sure... I'm still 50/50 on whether I should swap the trans or just fix the clutch.

I never saw Sam's car running that I can remember, so I can't really compare. The only footage I have seen so far is two clips at the end of this video:
