Still no standalone yet...starting to regret buying from K-data. Could have ordered and built a system faster than these dudes. Replies to my emails asking for tracking has been crappy. I was told it takes 2 weeks through DHL, and they would get back to me on tracking when they are back in the office...it's been 25 days since I ordered. With the holidays coming up there is a chance I wont even be in town if it does arrive...unit would be sitting on my door step for a week. I'm seriously considering a charge back.

Made a new downpipe. The old one wasn't allowing the wastegate to fully open. This corrected quite a bit of boost spike/creep. Now my clutch is absolutely toast.
I found that my stock o2 sensor was bad causing the car to lean out. Removed it and ran the car in open loop. No detonation, no issues. Still sticking to the standalone, but at least I can still drive the car and attend some drift/auto-x events coming up.
Ordered/picked up the following...
M20 single mass FW
F1 racing stage 3 sprung clutch/pp
M20 FW bolts
TOB (going to use the spacer from the m42 FW and not use a 323 TOB)
OEM Subframe bushings
OEM RTAB
OEM rear swaybar bushings
OEM rear swaybar links
Whiteline 24mm front swaybar lateral links
AKG weld in front swaybar reinforcements
AKG weld on m3 strut mounted swaybar links
Garagistic adjustable m3 front swaybar links
AKG rear swaybar reinforcement plates
AKG rear trailing arm reinforcement plates
Now I'm trying to source an m20 starter locally. Unfortunately, I have some obligations and cant spend the extra $100 on a reman Bosch unit. :(
Will post pics sometime in the next few weeks.

Why waste the time installing an m20 clutch setup? Or using the flywheel and doing a heavy pressure plate/disk?~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

Some pics of how she currently sits. Might do a video soon as first auto cross is next weekend.
Now the reason this is taking me so long is school. Two years ago I decided I hated corporate America and quit my job. I've been in aviation school training to be a commercial pilot since. At this stage I'm doing a lot of cross country flying and my free time is slim :(
Can't complain though, I get to do this daily!
