Nice . Good luck with your build. Sounds like the money you are putting into this thing is going to be well worth the wait. A turbo charged Z, when working correctly, is a f'ing blast.

Yes very unnerving to see the car in pieces and thinking the warranties are no good for you here. But keeping the dream alive to have a Z Beast. One thing is for sure glad to see the old exhaust get an upgrade

Most Twin turbo builds are done that way.

actually according to Sam they typically leave the engine in for the TT kit, we discussed it when I did my own install.

That is interesting as every shop I have talk to drops the motor for ease.
Though the kit is designed for the engine to be left in and installed, there is even a DIY on the forum of it.
