Nice work. No bashing!
Got any more pictures?

I used 2 Tial 38's. Boost holds rock solid, no creep. I'm just running springs. Although it seems to run about 2 psi higher than the spring rating.

Thanks, I should have some more to post soon after I get the down pipe done

And yea it's definitely recommended to run the race cover... After I get used to a turbo car then I'll think about upgrading

This is the griffin I used in my 68 Nova, it's for an LS swap though not universal. 8-00019-LS
It fit perfect and I have the part numbers for the hoses if you go that route.

Looks like a fun build. Tial or Precision 38/39mm WGs is what id run if you're doing 2.
