Spent all morning welding...forgot to take pics of the transition Welds still need to be wiped down with acetone to get rid of the some of the white residue.
Turned the welder all the way up and added a v-band to the compressor. I should have worked longer on the surface of the turbine, the welds had just aslight bit of junk.

ey Phil, a few friends were talking about how much it cost to run 6's.
I recall you saying at one point you had like 33k or 45k into the car total....
Wondering roughly what you total is now a days.
Thanks,
Brian

The horn set-up really does work and it is worth doing for the ET and chassis part of it but it just takes away from the look of the car. I'm not really sure what you can do to make them look good. I have given it a lot of thought and just really can't come up with a way to make it blend in.
Good luck with it. Ed

1-- Motor (you're going to have to pay here...get the right shop and the right parts from the get go or you'll be paying more later...trust us on this)
2-- Have a good game plan and stick to it...changing things mid-build gets expensive
3-- general fabrication...just the cagework of this caliber can cost you upwards to 10K...knowing how to weld/fabricate can save you TONS of money.

alot of people miss just how much money is saved if you do it/fabrication your self... its time consuming as hell especially if you have a full time job on top of it.
