Is this your only car? Do you have to have it running at the end of spring break? Have you already installed the MS3x and gotten that working? From reading your posts here it really sounds like you have bitten off a large project, that will most likely end in some sort of failure.

I would highly suggest splitting it in pieces and doing things in steps.
First install the MS and get it up and running in the car. Learn how to tune a bit and get comfortable.
Then swap in the VVT motor. Retune and get all the kinks worked out with that.
Then throw on turbo parts, and tune.
I only say this because there is a ton of things that can go wrong when you do it all at once. Is the motor not starting because of a hardware issue, or MS issue, and other things that come up.

One thing he has going for him is that I literally just got my setup together in October... So I should be able to help him get this thing set up. I'm sure there are going to be hiccups, but like he said this is not his daily and I made sure to make him aware that no matter how much you plan and try to get everything set up perfect in one weekend, it very rarely ever works out to be like that. Hopefully any roadblocks that we come across, you guys will help us get through!

Well heres the progress so far, hopefully will be starting it this weekend enjoy the pictures.
My engine bay is so dirty gotta get some degreaser and clean that bad boy up, just need to figure out the wiring diagram for the MS VVT controls and everything should start right up. Praying I dont run into any issues.

Can you show more pics on how you're routing your hotside charge piping? I'm running a different setup but am pretty limited unless I just throw the filter on the inlet. Just lookin for ideas.
Looks like one picture has it going into the fender area, the other is where all other kits run, interfering with where A/C would be
