looks good, IMO i wouldnt have gone with the nippon version of vitaras might come back and bite you in the ass
also did you upgrade the retainers too and not just the valve springs?

 

[TippinOver]

bigger injectors? any plans for ecu mods?

just dont forget about the fuel aspect of boosting, but otherwise, nicely done Goldmember!
