As a comparison (more for myself) with reference to the lower springs...

the
205/60/14's = 602mm tall

245/40/17's = 636mm tall
225/45/17's = 634mm tall

Doesn't look like it was going anywhere in those photos, looks like it's on a towrope! It's nice and clean looking though, someone has spent some time and coin on it.

is that the turbo you got off me? if so, then that's exactly what my car made with that turbo when stock.. then the tuner unhooked the vac line to the fuel pressure regulator and put a screw in it.. bumped it up to 99rwkw

thats the turbo mate, im happy with it. 96rwkw and 190NM torque.

:D would have liked to crack the 100rwkw mark, but thats the goal next time.

the cars are rated at 125kw at the fly stock, so thats a good result.. means they lose about 30kw through the driveline..
