As this is a daily driven car, I have changed my brake pads over to Carbotech 1521 pads. Hopefully they will be much less dusty and noisy than the XP10/XP8 combo I was running.

The 1521s are ok, they are very clean.
They just feel a bit 'wooden' if you push them hard on a spirited drive.

I think I'll leave the 1521s in the rear and swap to XP10 fronts on track days. I tend to trail brake a bit so a bit less rear bias might be a good thing.

Went to ChipTorque today and got the ECU modified to suit running in of the new engine:
New engine is very close to having all accessories swapped on and ready to be put back in:
Hopefully we will be firing up the engine on Saturday!

SE turbo sits in nice and close to the block.
Very clean and shiny, looking forward to seeing it running!
No COPS / coolant reroute?

Trying to keep changes to a minimum at the moment, so I may look at the Toyota coils after everything is in and running.
As for the reroute, I'm using an SE head and SE head gasket so it isn't as critical:

That sounds better, I've never been a fan of having the long pipe around to the back.
Very clean installation, I think it will be great!

A few finished touches. We used an SE intercooler mounting support and modified it with extra tabs to suit the aftermarket intercooler:
The engine will be started later this afternoon!
