Hopefully it comes together.
Pictures make it tough but I am adding:
- Meth injection
- Painting the headlights asm with halos
- 6000K bulbs
- Rotora BBK front
- Rotora rear rotors
- Painting the front grill
- Customer CAI for SC
- Progess RSB
- 30 PSI autometer boost gauge(replacing existing 60 PSI gauge)
- Tein SS with EDFC
- Black hood overlay
I am now thinking about bitting the bullet for the legends just to have this thing done.

gonna be very nice when done, I love the eye candy of all the mods togther uninstalled. Nice choice on the Legends, this season has been good to the company, so we are slim on inventory. Let me know what finish and i can tell you how to get them on reserve if they are almost out of stock.

Looks good. Just ordered my SC Custom CAI parts off ebay too. That, and a UA6spec front A-spec lip, and I'm done too (I got all that other shit you listed).
I don't think that 9" filter will fit behind the bumper, you doing something different?
Why the boost gauge? 4 psi on a 30 gauge ain't gonna be that interesting... Where's it mounted?
I have the Boost Cooler too, came with the SC. Trying to figure out how to hook it up. Any help there, or are you gonna have a shop do it? Could you take some pics?

The boost guage is mounted right behind the steering wheel. I have Automete Nexus gauges which were the best color match to the stock gauges. I know the boost gauge does not do much but you can record you runs on an SD card and track boost with A/F. You can play it back on the gauges or via software. Not necessary but I am a gadget guy.
I was going to do it but I also have a shop that I know has done hundreds. If I do it I will take plenty of pictures.

So after our discussion of the Nexus Boost gauge, I did a little research. Wowee Zowee, that's a $450 gauge setup.
I then I relaized my SC came with a Nexus gauge... It was in the box of leftover parts (aem wdieband, AEM modified CAI)... Just installed it... It is very cool. Way overkill, but very cool.

Thats like putting 20inch wheels on lotus elise, totally negates the performance aspect. 85122+ FTW

Holy cow you lucked out with that SC! I am planning on using the gauges a little more when I track it when it gets colder but I agree it is way over kill. I actually change the color and dim a lot just for a different look.

It came the stock size UR pulley, Snow Boost Cooler (haven't installed that, need some adult supervision), AEM wideband without the 02 sensor - uninstalled, I hate to weld that bung on the ATLP J-pipe, Nexus Boost with controller - I had to call autometer and get the network cable and T, and a modified AEM CAI. I'm selling that.
I sold my Fujita and UR underdrive... for $250
Self installed... In the end, I have under $2700 on this setp, and it's running and looking great. Just spen another $100 to make a sexier polished CAI, but hoping to recoup that selling the AEM mod.
I just last night found the Nexus "hold the color button for 2 seconds"... Discotech.
So I'm clear, are you showing about 15 lbs of vacuum at idle, 20 lbs of vac at decel , and of course 5 lbs of boost under hard load...?
Makes sense to me as the SC is in bypass until above 4K rpm, so the vaccuum is the engine sucking air... and the surge is the stumble when the manifold goes from "suck to blow"... god I love spaceballs.

I have not installed it. Right now I have the 0-60 PSI gauge *they shipped the wrong one but I should get it shortly and I will let you know.
