Sorry for the lack of updates - been busy with work and ----. No pictures today.

Here's where I'm at in terms of fab so far:

Flipped the exhaust manifold upside down, fabbed up an adapter to mate the exhaust flange off the manifold with a new inlet flange I made myself for the turbine - none of it is pretty, there's some cleanup, but the welds look to be rock solid and should hold quite a bit of pressure.

Still waiting on IC piping, injectors, fuel rail, etc - this thursday I should have all the fab work done. Gotta make an intake manifold, gonna buy some aluminum welding rods tomorrow and start fabbing up the plenum & runners. Also need to buy some aluminum pipe... Note to self lol.

And you guys will get a kick out of what I'm using to make the plenum for the intake manifold :P

No secrets revealed yet, just know it's a large part of the car that I removed at one point and it's... roughly, the perfect size and shape for a decent plenum with little fab work needed.


Pics and updates coming tomorrow.

Here's the adapter I made for the flipped manifold to the turbo - the welds look like crap but they're rock solid, a little grinding and finishing and it'll look pretty.

And here's the piece de resistance, the bumpermanifold.

This is just the plenum right now, sending it out to get welded soon - then fabbing up my own intake mani to head flanges and getting that welded.

Intercooler piping also came in yesterday, gotta take a sawzall to the front of the car and start routing ----.

BDVT said someone needed a intake mani welded, assuming this is you? I have welder :y
