The O2 housing is 2.5", but from the Downpipe back is 3". Here's a couple snap shots I just took. I went out there and welded the muffler on just now. I know some of you may say that since the muffler is SS, I shouldn't have MIGed it to the aluminized piping. I had just spot welded it and planned on taking it to a pro to get TIGed on, but a couple other guys I talked to said that MIGing it will hold fine, just have to watch out for rust. But I don't care about that as is doesn't see winter, plus we're going to spray paint all the welds to help prevent that. So anyhow, here's some closer pics of my welds. Nothing award winning, but I think I'm getting better.

And she's alive!!! One of the slim fans took a ---- right off the bat, so I gotta get a new one of those. Idle is a hair rough. But other then that, she's alive and noisy as hell! I think I have leaks between the flanges

TC is repp'n real hard.

Looks really good man, I think we'll have to have a meet soon and I think you'll have to give me a rid

Gotta love the 1g dsms though. My first experience in one was my buddy's fully built 1g, big 16g turbo, full 3" and what not. I love 6k rpm clutch drops.

Ya she's movin pretty good! This turbo is a little bigger then a 16g. I'd try to make it to a meet if there was one. But I work a crazy schedule. Now we just gotta get Austin's car turboed!!!

Drove it to work today. Thing runs fine. Noisy from the exhaust, and needs an allignment. But other then that she seems to be holding great at 15psi. Tommorow I think I'll put her up to 20 and see how she pulls!!
