Default Honda S2000 from Greece - Project Gus (wide) step by step

Hello Guys

I am a proud owner of S2k from Greece. I bought it recently (at my birthday at 6 of January) used. This car was and still is my dream car that is why i bought such a car after so many years of it's first and last production. So i am going to write down some specs of the car as it was when i bought it and then we will go through the entire evolution of my project step by step. It is not completed yet , actually i am just starting so it will take long time. I usually (as i did with my bike GSXR 600 K8 Rizla Replica 08) post after i complete my project but now i want to share it with you and help me take some decisions.

This is a Daily car for me...
I will change almost everything on this car so i just wanted a clean chassis , but finally i got some much more than that.

So the car is a Berlina Black AP1 S2000 manufactured at 2000. It had 130,000 km when i bought it and here are some specs

-Exterior
AP2 exterior conversion. Head and Tail lights , Front and Rear Bumper along with rear trunk lip wing , front bumper lip and side skirts.
AP2 Soft top with glass
JR3 R17 Black Wheels with 245 on the rear and 215 on the front

-Interior
Not much done , actually it was changed from red to a mix of black and blue
Still AP1 center console and dash
Just some HDI gauges for Boost , Oil Temp , Oil Pressure and water Temp

-Engine/Bay
Stock F20C engine , 14:1 compression (i think it is too high for turbo)
Garrett GT3582
TiAL wastegate , 44mm ( i think) mechanical 0.8 boost (not really familiar with turbo components so if i am mistaking let me know and i will check with my workshop)
Greedy Blow Off valve
Skunk2 Double Exhaust Full system
Mishimoto fans
Intercooler (simota i think)
AEM Series 2 EMS
HDI boost controller
D1 Spec oil catch
Spoon Carbon Radiator Cooling plate and intake

The mapping was made by a well known guy in Greece. This set up made 530 bhp at the dyno and approx 50 torque at 1.2 boost (high). The low pressure is 0.9 with approx 480 bhp.

BC BR type Suspensions
Spoon 4Pot calipers with aftermarket discs at OEM dimensions + Ferodo DS2500 brake pads
AP2 Gearbox
AP2 Diff
Rear Fenders were Rolled
Rear brace underneath the car along with front X brace. I believe that is a must on this car. I also would like a front strut bar but is not yet possible (check engine bay picture). I hope i will make it to the future as i am gonna change the layout of the downpipe...

The whole project will be realised by a friend of mine , Stamatis from STM Performance with the help of Midnight Garage Greece

The car was maintained all those years by Midnight Garage in Greece!! Panagiotis is a Specialist at S2000 and Honda cars as you can see at his website Midnight-Garage.gr - Αρχική

Keep in mind that i am a Carbon Lover

What kind of fuel are you running? 14:1 compression on 1.2 bar seems highly unlikely.

Yeap but it was probably my mistake as it seems it is 12:1 (i will edit it at my original post) , which also is too high for Turbocharger. I choose Shell V-Power Racing that tends to be around 100 octane (or so they say)
