Default Started turbo system..

First attempt at making headers, not really in love with the bend on the #2 runner, almost need to get a tighter bend.

Thanks guys! I'm going to order some tighter radius bends for the shortest runner to clean it up. There is probably nothing wrong with it but stuff like that kills me until its fixed.

Or you could bring #2 to the outside as 4,6 and 8 have more room to make the turn to the inside.

Do you think you're somekind of an expert on these stuff or something??!!....... JK!!!

Phill99vette, I think you just got yourself a freebee advise from....only the baddest, sickest turbo kit builder on this planet!!!....nevertheless, it seems like you got yourself an awesome start. Looks great so far!
I only wish I have the ability to do something like that... .
BTW, is this for single or twin? ....again, great job!

Looks good. 304 or 321 stainless? Are you just using the alum plate bolted to the engine for a reference for the amount of room between the frame rails?

I'm making a set out of Mild Steel and a set out of 304 SS. The ALuminum plate is a reference for the bottom tubes. Thanks for all the positive comments!
