Sorry for the delay in updates.....life got in the way.
So, I ended up not going with the "Garrett LS1 Kit" provided hydroboost relocator/bracket. Although it is engineered well and functions properly the aesthetics of the bracketry in the engine bay just didn't do it for me. I ended up sourcing a smaller hydroboost unit and mounted it on the fire wall. I combined that with a STRANGE engineering brake master cylinder.
Obviously the booster and master cylinder sit fairly close to the exhaust manifold so a bracket will be fabricated to shield the booster/master cylinder. Both the shield and exhaust manifolds will be coated with a ceramic coating.
I purchased a new fuel tank. It has a larger capacity than the original M3 tank. It also has provisions for two fuel pumps although I am only running one Aeromotive 340 fuel pump. It does not have the needed cross over tube between the two reservoirs so a -8 fitting and hose will be installed.
I also installed a Monster Clutch. Its a stage 1 which is good for 450hp. I also got the 18lb billet flywheel and new slave/throwout bearing. I also ended up installing a braided clutch and bleeder lines.
Also got some new shoes. 17" BBS RK's. They are a bit rough but they are going to be refinished.
More to come...
