So about a week ago I reached 130k on her and decided to give her a few presents  
 
New Magnecor wires to replace the cheap ass Autozone POS that was on there before, failed in less than 2000 miles V

And a few more pictures of the turbo rebuild process for those who are interested:
   
 
 
 
 
^lots and lots of coke  :(  and no, not that kind of coke, this stuff is bad
Not pictured is the I put the carpet, center console and some dash trim pieces back (apparently girls like cars with carpet better, who knew?) Bought a very very lightweight Braille knock-off battery from Advance, which'll get put under the passenger seat and a stubby radio antenna.

Thanks, and that turbo is significantly bigger than stock, AFAIK the exhaust side housing and wheel I'm using (vj-11, already bigger than stock) is the largest that will work on the stock manifold and the compresser wheel and housing that is pictured is the biggest that will bolt onto that exhaust housing, this turbo set-up will supposedly push 350 cfm at 22 psi
