If it makes you happy, that is what really matters. It's always great to see your dreams and visions come to life. Keep moving on it, we want to see it roar to life already  show that baby off and let her rip, worst the cops can do is give ya a hassle or ticket and then just smile it off.

I had a set of those on my former "Creeky" '69 Bug. Loved the "dune buggy sound," and also not having to sacrifice ground clearance. Have fun!
P.S.: Monitor and maintain torque on those two bolts that attach the outlet pipes--you don't want them to loosen up, and end up with a dragging tail pipe... Ask me how I know... Ha!... Utilizing the old original gaskets that came with the kit I think got me in trouble--they kind of disintegrated, leading to the loss of bolt torque. I bought some new gasket material, cut out my own gaskets, also bought some new hardware store bolts while I was at it, never had a problem after that...

Looks like a fun build up.
How do you plan on plumbing the turbo?
Under the fender?
In the engine compartment?
How are you dealing with the exhaust?
