update
I stopped by the shop today. I wanted to see the progress that had been made.
The injectors and fuel pump are in and working properly. The car is taken apart and the turbo is mounted up. They are waiting for the intercooler core and transmission cooler to show up. They should have my car back to me next week, hopefully early next week
Here's a couple pics of the turbo mounted up. I was told the brackets are temporary ones and the finished ones will be beefier and look better.

^ The project is moving forward, slower than I was hoping. I have been told the tune is scheduled for the 31st. They have been getting the water to air intercooler plumbed and attached this week. Here are some pics they sent me of the heat exchanger mounted up as well as the integrated coolant reservoir and pump.

Looks good, that weld is sexy to me

Just got these tonight! They got the exhaust plumbed to the turbo, and I'm told they almost have the piping to the intercooler finished.
intercooler, resonator, and it looks like the wastegate mounted near the turbo
Stainless steel exhaust. Aluminum charge piping.
Vibrant pre-turbo resonator. There will be another resonator after the turbo to keep the sound under control.

I believe the plan right now is to plumb it into the downpipe. That means the passenger side is going to have false exhaust tips. They're going to keep the stock tips if at all possible.

Looks awesome, I like how they cut the muffler to use the tips and hide the turbo
(NOBODY'S TALKING SHIT ON THIS SETUP NOW LOL)

Well I unfortunately did not get to take my TL home tonight. Due to some computer issues, they weren't able to start the dyno tuning until late in the afternoon so I'm going to end up having to wait to pick it up until Monday because they are closed for new years tomorrow and Friday.
I was told that the initial dyno numbers at low boost were very promising, but I don't have any dyno graphs to back up what they told me. I was also told that it sounded like a beast at WOT.
It's going to be a long 4 days...
