And usually out of Aluminum so welding a blowoff valve flange on could be a trick. Some use JB weld, others can aluminum weld it. And then theres the few that like to use a Coke can mounted in between

this is why my piping is like it is...its not overly attractive...but it functions . I used my old short ram...and some DSM piping...used the flange/pipe that the 1g was on...a few diesel connectors and some clamps...and wam-presto-pieced together intercooler piping
