kinda, the build remained relatively mild until last winter, i was going to piece together a mild budget turbo setup over the course of a couple years. next thing you know a couple months later im hacking the car up and just dove in head first. still a super budget built. i think i kept it under the $3k mark without sacrificing anything.

-fully ducted cooling system from the front bumper to out the hood
-im sure there is more im forgeting
-street tuned by mikey at touge factory but only about 80% done with tuning stuff, need to rent some dyno time for mikey to play with advanced boost controls and get boost by tps cooking and iron out a few other things.
but the thing can put some laps down with zero cooling issues. currently on 285 square re71s so i only get a outlap and about two flyer laps before the tires get greased up. i did do about 6-7 laps around autobahn cc at about 7/10th on the cars shakedown and car stayed 190-200* with 105* ambient temps.
not sure who that was but not me
unfortunately not yet so i dont have a track midwest opinion

. shooting for 38s next season, still working out setup bugs. mostly i have some alignment issues that were causing issues, i was hyper focused getting the turbo/engine setup dialed i neglected some suspension components, tried to drive through it but found the limits. seized camber adjuster in the rear so im stuck at like 1.9*, caster is way fucked, front sway bar endlinks started stripping out and are loose, and overall needs a bushing refresh.
also why wait till after pri
