Great project, but the exhaust setup is not my favorite.

I have heard that it is hard to get the S85 to run in 500hp mode after swapped and it wants to remain in 400hp. How did you manage the electronics, what ECU.

What gearbox is it using
How much power is it doing (vanos?)

I would love to race this car against mine as swapping an S85 was something I thought about doing to my GT, but I went the Turbo route to save money (which I didnt).

not a fan of the new plenum, i would've left the original an added a bulge on the hood (no car has needed it more than this one) & definitely some large hood vents

dunno about the exhaust placement, maybe it's too centered but simply sticking out like that + those tips it's not my cup of tea

the SMG would've been sick w/ larger paddles & the tall oem shifter it has now

hope they get it weighed so we can see the front-rear distribution
