the total was $400 for the kit. Im gonna be running a t3/t4 46 trim turbo with a 38mm wastegate VTA. And possibly EMS, but i havnt really decided on that one yet.
Yea for the paint i am having the car re-wetsanded, adding another coat of clear, and wetsanded again in the spring. So that will be taken care of then. Im hoping to have the car done by then with the upgrades so that once its out of the paint shop it will be good to go for the summer

Not really peel, just went super faded.
So it was the clear coat that faded, and not the paint?

well hurry up. I know you have more than enough money right now that you could go buy all the parts. GET cams, GET AEM EMS, GET a good clutch, do it right and do it all while you have it apart so that way when you want more out of it later all youll need is a turbo to do so.
And maybe a bottom end since that wont hold for too long im sure

Nice, cant wait to see it installed. Didnt know the paint went bad... is it like the same problem that kalapana black has on the Mitsus?
