Seeing as how this forum has been so helpful with all the amazing eng. building tips from all you pros out there, I thought I should post some pics to show what you all helped me accomplish. I resurfaced the irons on a large surface grinder at work.

Ha,ha, Your more right than you know. Looks like the poor guy won't be able to finish the project for a while so it'll be sitting around for a while after I install it. It's a shame cause I can't wait to tune it and see what #'s he puts down. He's got an s5 hot side with a t4 compressor side. Should work well. Not a bad baffle for free. Got the metal at work and spent about an hour putting it in.

Thanks, I'm flattered. Figured it was a good idea since it doesn't interfere with the gasket.
