Those ports look huge. 
Lets hope it doesn't make the car soggy to drive off boost
A standard unported head would have managed over 500bhp easy
Yours should be capable of some huge numbers

However - the flow graphs that were done indicate that it shouldn't be flat off boost, maybe not quite as crisp - but should still drive nicely and should make a lot more power at a lot less boost
Now for the fun stuff... Just got back from the states and did a little bit of christmas shopping while i was there
Turbonetics GTK-450 (The GTK stands for GT Killer
)Truly an amazing bit of kit - phenomenal development work in this little beauty
Runs a ported shroud to reduce surge, a thermal coating on the housing face to keep heat soak down, a HIP (Hot Isostatic Process) compressor wheel amongst other trickery...
Comes straight from the factory with an inline oil feed filter and the label shows the unit tested oil flow rate:
From the factory the exhaust housing has a funky heat proof coating:
Oh and it's an inconel exhaust wheel and shaft:
And just to give you an idea of size:
Also got my hands on one of the special edition black face AVCR boost controllers, when set up fully, these things are phenomenal!
Few more AEM goodies while i wait for my ECU and loom to arrive (should be within a week or so) - Here we have a 4 channel thermocouple amplifier, 3.5 Bar MAP sensor, air temp sensor, oil pressure sensor and water temp sensor.
Turbosmart 38mm External Hi Temp Wastegate:
See if you can guess what this is:
Oh ok - it's a Turbosmart Race Port BOV (Blow Off Valve)
Here we see the Lucky Strike ruler showing that this is not a piddly 20mm diameter piston in it... There'll be no PPPPTISSCHHH noise with this... just the sound of all the compressed air vanishing to atmosphere instantly
It's all starting to come together now

Nah - sorry Stu, don't feel up to driving tonight - i'm trying hard to stay awake until 8.30-9pm time to try and reset my body clock...
My body currently thinks it's 10 in the morning and is a little confused as to why its not had any sleep for 32 hrs

Have a good new year mate

In terms of customs - i stopped and declared as i'd had to stop and open all the boxes 3 times for the airline and security staff coming out the states - i figured there was a very high chance that UK staff might be expecting me!!!
