my first plan was a medium size single turbo for my 7 but now i am leaning towards just a natural motor. keep up the good work it will be a screamer.

Yup My goal is always to do everything myself. I have never paid for any work before. I'm actually a engineering student by trade and should graduate in 5 quarters.

Beautiful work man. Just wondering, are you going to be supporting the turbo at all other than hanging off the mani's? I only say that cause thats a lot of weight bouncing around up there and I'd hate to see it cause cracks.

Should have this mounted tomorrow. Got the end caps welded in place to the right and the left of the radiator. A piece of DOM tube will be welded from plate to plate.
