Nigel was using corrected numbers. This is a big mistake with a turbo'd car. I live in Denver as well and the correction factor is HUGE (normally about 1.22). He's not putting down anywhere near what his numbers show. He's about 20% too high.
It takes a turbo'd car longer to reach peak power at altitude, but it makes ALMOST as much power as it does at sea level.

Are you going to be selling this setup? 
Looks sweet.
A question popped into my head when I saw the MAF sensor cable though. It seems to be REALLY close to the turbine (like less than an inch).. Think it'll hold up there under the heat?

And as far as the mafs sensor goes, these pictures were taken before everything was completely retightened, it actually sits about 2 inches away and an inch above.. just far enough to keep the wires off the compressor which doesnt get hot enough to do any damage, my 5 hour drive from atlanta should attest to that.
thanks for the compliments, i am going to get a few videos soon.

Working on it Lots of distributors to call, lots of negotiations to deal with to get good pricing on major components. Not that I mind dealing with turbo stuff all day...
