It feels like it's taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r!!! Having to have a second built motor is what's causing the delay. Being the engineer that I am, I can't just leave well enough along. I'm way more involved with the building process than I should be, adding my own changes, tweaks and so forth to the build. So it's just taking a long time.

Is room an issue with running a 4 inch inlet on the turbo??[/quote]
From this pic you can see, there is room of you don't mind making a minor cut for some clearance. This is something we did on the very first go around and I never liked it. I was very skeptical to CNC mill the compressor housing and use the inlet reducer, but having access to engineering resources as Garrett is handy for things like this. The data showed no reduction in flow and a bit of an improvement in surge characterisitics
Performance wise, we saw no difference. I somewhat expected the turbo to sound different is some way, but there was zero audible difference in air sucking, turbine/compressor whine, etc.

Us too! We're working on something else, very preliminary too. Unfortunately (I think so far), it will only be for GRs, but if we can get the goemetry to work there will no longer be any comparisons (performance wise) to other kits. For the GDs, it's starting to look like, what you see is what you get, which isn't exactly a bad thing. More torture testing to come.
