Quick question since I missed this thread the first time around...
What is that part on the lower front cover?
Its the oil pump assembly for the dry sump kit.
So, when are you getting this engine?
I'm also guessing 600HP at the flywheel? Are you getting it tuned for higher boost? By looks of the turbo, I'm guessing you are.

We'll keep it as-is for right now, get it started and let me practice with it a bit on the track. If I find that we need more power, we'll retune it for more.
I know a guy who has ton of experience tuning rotaries. When you need tuning, I'll give you his info. He's out of the country but comes to US quite often.
Also, is this going in your 8 or the 7? if it goes into the 7, I think you might need more hood clearance if you are using stock UIM. We could chat about this if you want. Drop me an email and I could help out.
