So his secret is cup walking and a lot of gas? He certainly has that technique nailed down.

ahh, autogenous weld...I thought it looked a little undercut. Very pretty none the less! Much better than I could do, lol.

We have been waiting all year for this here are some pictures and a couple start up videos Not really much to say besides came out better than i even imagined. Not bad for our first Turbo build
Big Thanks to Ed Gildea for all his help with the Fab work and building an entire custom Turbo Kit!!!!!! I couldn't be happier with the build! For this to be done in a little garage with Limited tools I cant believe how it looks its one of the best feelings to have it running tonight!!!


I'll Let the car do the rest of the talking!!!

Ya man I had no idea what this car would sound like. Its going to be a little much for the street but we will make another exhaust if it comes to that point. I'm hoping that the garage is the reason it sounded louder than it actually is? LOL

Thank you It has been a ton of work from Feb starting with basically a shell to now but when it runs for the first time you forget about all the work and its all worth it.

Sounds nasty!

Question - Is that engine running high compression? Is your starter bad? Or do you need to check your wiring? Everytime you start the car, it's a delayed turn over. Did you catch that?
