Looks great. Clutch, cooling upgrades required??? I must run a front plate, intercooler issues?? I would assume that without limited slip now and 250WHP I would want to change that.

We reccomend our aluminum radiator in addition to this kit. It helps control temperatures a lot better.

In addition we reccomend a slightly stronger clutch like the SPEC stage 2 that we have here -

I will most likely be putting together a package that includes our aluminum radiator and the stage 2 clutch for those looking to do it all at once!

I wanted this Turbo kit to be perfect integration to the car, and took Dave's recommendation. I asked him to add to my order a stage 2 clutch with a Werks radiator. The 2.5" dual tip exhaust was added as well
I knew I would be doing a lot of WOT, and thought a stronger clutch would be a wise investment

As soon as Dave is done putting the last finishing touch to my car (yes him and his crew are very meticulous, and that's what convince me to go with them...heck I am an engineer and you know how picky we are )
I'll share details about the turbo kit metamorphosis once I get my hands on my Sol. But based on what the GXP can do with 260 HP, I would estimate the Werks kit to be around 5.0 s to 60 mph with 300 Hp, maybe even better

I see you kept the crankcase breather tube (yay!!!). Have you checked to see how much it'd cost for CARB certification?
