Default Started the Twin MPT70 build

So I started the Twin MP-T70 turbo project this morning. I decided against tubular primary headers as I wanted to keep my sanity. log style manifolds were the more obvious choice as they are much more simple and easier to cram into the small area between the motor and shock tower. Turbo placement isnt optimal as drainage will be a hassle. I may have to bite the bullet and and use a scavenge pump. here is the passenger side all tac'd up and ready to go aside from the wastegate placement. i will be using Tial 38mm V band wastegates. I willl be starting the driver's side next weekend. if anyone has any ideas or critcism on the placement feel free to chime in. all the pipes have been test fitted in the car and as tight as it is it still fits. oh the 1/2" square tube brace is now removed as it wa an eye sore. i just used it to keep it together when i was building it.

Are you using the right gas or wire or what for your welding?
