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 ***.

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.
