Awesome progress on your car! I have done work on my cars in the past, but I will skip turbo installation and have a local shop do it for me.
I was researching inlet solutions for my car, but after seeing your work, maybe you can fab another set and sell it to me.
I'll probably go the VTT inlet route.
Did you replace your front hubs with M5 hubs? I read that was the only way to run those brakes. Big improvement over stock?

The problem with my inlet system is that it is expensive, raw materials for the inlet are $400 which doesn't include the welding, custom AC line, or various parts needed for the engine bay relocations. TFT's charge pipe makes their inlet system sexy but in my opinion that is overshadowed by their horrendous PCV hose routing. I like how clean my system is as a complete package.
Unfortunately my inlet isn't going to be a viable option for budget minded people when you can buy silicone inlets from RB or VTT for $250-$400 which don't require relocations.
For the M5 brakes you need to swap the rear hubs for M5 ones, after that is done they brake system is a bolt-on mod. Yes, big improvement.
