Red face

It is still a little rough-My Makita grinder broke, so I still need to grind the inner part of the manifold smooth and open the wastegate passage even more



The Mig Welder machine I used is subpar and tends to pop corn the welds (or could be my technique) but there won't be any leaks LoL



I'm no welding expert either ( I might have to take a class



Came out pretty good so far tho!



The Turbo Sits High about less then half and inch from the water pump housing neck. Thats the way I wanted it!



It does not come close to the Intake Manifold or Frame



I will be using a T-66 Turbo with a Deltagate wastegate



Once I get the final details done I will have it ceramic coated..



It also will fit FB's FC's and FD's-pretty much any chassis

Looks good. Im only concerned about one thing, the wastegate pipe location. From the looks of it your going to have some prolbems controlling boost. Exhaust gases dont like to make 180 deg turns.
