Interesting thread to say the least. Like what you did 98~. The problems with the builder and time lines really don't seem that out of the ordinary. I've had the same bull happen to me before, and that was on turbo KITS. They say one thing, promise a deadline, you call back way past deadline and they haven't even started, or know nothing about it. I def felt the whole "paying customer = great service on a phone" then "you already paid, and we don't care about the issues you're having despite our promises and guarantees." It happens. The car mod business lives on rep from people like you.
Reading over the whole thread, I was chuckling how some forum members were pointing out some problems with Lutz's design, and the same issue they bring up bites you in the ***. I didn't enjoy that the process sucked for you, but now that it's pretty much over, it can be laughed at; IMO. Hind sight is 20/20 after all. That's what happens when a welder designs a turbo kit, and not an engineer. This isn't the 70's anymore, these are 200mph computers, hence companies specializing in certain types of cars; due to the wide range of differences that can be seen between makers.

...The turbo location will add a huge engine "bling" factor, but will also def introduce intense heat.

...that will be a huge amount of intense heat confined to an already hot engine bay. Some venting via the hood is probably the easiest way to help that problem out...

What I am wondering is, how even the air flow is going to be with one turbo to both throttle bodies
