hahaha, does AEM really label their parts so blatantly? I guess it's so ricers will know what parts they've got.

Nice IM. Better than I could do.

they look rough because i put more meat on them and then went and ported them out like valocity stacks, now there is one that is forword by 1cm. and now i did not use a jig. i searched for months on disigns on guidelines but didnt find anything. didnt want to post on here and sound like a dump ass.

Ive seen much better, and much worse ALU tig welds fail. Aslong as it holds together looks fine.

Did you pressure tested it for leaks? The runners look huge and I don't know about the angle of that TB.
Other than that, looks like it's too big—big throttle, big plenum, big runners. Suspect torque-killer, imo.
