Made the downpipe last night using FLUXCORE because I ran out of gas and just wanted to get it done. After some grinding, paint and thermal wrap you won't notice.;)

Also mounted the IC up front.

Here is my downpipe escapade:

Eta? who knows. I've only driven the thing around the block. Maybe mid 14's but I built it more to say I could than anything.

It sucks when no one makes a flange for your turbo. You have to get creative.
