Small update to this, finally heard back from the blower place, they are having issues getting some of the parts but they are going to send me what they have so I can start planning out where things are going to go.

Now that it's getting close I'm going to figure out a fuel pump upgrade..... I'm sure the stocker isn't going to keep up

Some of the parts started arriving this week.

I was going to ask if you ordered from Boost District, but after seeing the actual blower, I seen you did.
I ordered mine in early June and was told 4-5 weeks, I got the same thing as you. Partial parts and then everything else when you got the rest of yours lol.

Well now that the weather is getting better and I actually have daylight I got back on this. Fuel issue *may* be solved but I won't know for sure until this weekend. There is a spacer that goes on the outlet of the stock pump that positions the o ring that I missed.

It should look like this:

I got all that back together but now there's a line under the tank (GTO guys will know what one I'm talking about) that if you don't remember to take off before you move the fuel tank, it gets damaged and I wasn't as careful as I could have been and I forgot about it. Working on making a new one since the original one is unobtainium. Then once that's done I can check to see if we have fuel pressure.

Well it took longer than I expected at the tuner because he wanted everything perfect but it's finally done and I got the car back. So far it's a ripper and I'm going to need to get some better tires on it soon.

Engine bay is basically done too. Just need to make a bracket for the catch can and maybe wrap the hoses for the heat exchanger.
