In all honestly your welds aren't that bad for a first time'r. They look pretty decent, as long as the penetration is there they are fine. Looks like a decent DIY turbo system, GL

Thanks for the words. I actually have gotten beter since then. Its amazing how much better you get when you get the gas and speed settings right. I actually am going to be rerouting so I can mount the turbo to the chassis and use a couple flex sections.

Yeah pretty much MIG welding is all about setting up the machine correctly after that just about anyone can do it if you have some practice

The v-band closest to the driver's side fender will make contact. Thats what happens when you dont double check your dimensions. thats why I am rerouting it.
