Just wanted to start a thread to keep track of progress I’ve made so far and the plans going forward. I would love any input as I’m still a baby with this platform.

This is how I picked her up with 149k on the clock and bone stock besides redone braided vacuum lines. I started by installing DCI from VRSF and their charge pipe with a tial bov and a jb4. I then added isc coilovers and some sick (in my opinion) wci wheels with 275/35/19 in the rear and 245/30/19 in the front. I also flashed the transmission with xhp stage 3 and xdelete

Next steps are picking out which pi manifold I want to go with, deciding which pi controller to use (currently between motive reflex and jb4), deciding on what bearings rods and pistons will work best and installing my N53 head HP800 turbos supertech valve train and schrick high lift cams. I will be installing a stage 4 dual walbro 535 lpfp also. As I said any input would be greatly appreciated as I still have to order most of the fuel system and other various parts. Thanks for checking out the build!

Looks good but I thought you're not supposed to run staggered wheel setups on awd cars?

Where are you planning on picking up your fuel pump upgrade? I’m having a hard time finding solutions for the E6X, most everything on the market is for E9X only.
