Chris decided that the turbo h22 needed a little more airflow, so I fired up the welder and bandsaw and went to work :6

I am well aware of the fact that it looks like a shoe, I would've made the thing more tapered but there is an intercooler pipe right behind it that limits what I can do there.

The car is on the lift so it was hard to get a good shot of it in place. Tomorrow I will make the piping up to the turbo, it was getting late by the time I got this far (we spend most of the day shipping people the wrong turbo on purpose, which leaves little time for fabbing).
