Thanks for sharing! This is the same route I plan on taking, and have already had my custom turbo built.
I also went with the 9 blade TD04HLR turbine (52/45.6mm)and upgraded bearing kit.
For my compressor I selected the 6+6 blade with extended tip: 49.1/65-69mm. Machinist said there was plenty of meat in there, but the biggest possible match for the turbine.
Also have the CP Pistons, rods, Carr bolts.
Very interested in the Head studs? Do you have part numbers you can share? Did you have to open up the head bolt holes?
Did you do any work to the head? Porting or valve job?
I defiantly like the idea of having the stabilizing rods added to reduce the cylinders from moving. It will probably increase the life of the head gasket.
Do you have any more picture of the cylinder and crank case relief areas for the new rods?
Also do you know which cylinder liners your machine shop used?
How long did the build take you? Did you have to get any new tools for the disassembly and reassembly? I hear the injectors and rod bolts require some unique tools.
