Sweet setup. Looks like if you put the wastegate just before the turbo (on the elbow), you might have enough space to be able to merge the wastegate into the downpipe off the turbo. One dump pipe then.

Warning!

Welding galvanized sch 40 pipe can produce deadly fumes in an enclosed garage. All it takes is an open garage door and a small breeze from a fan to clear them out.

You are so right on that one, I cut - grind - weld all at the front of the garage with the door all the way open when welding any Galvanized items.

now back on track to denmah style
