here's what i got goin' on at the shop

the shop:
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3922.aspx

the beast:
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3921.aspx

water pump is all in my way so had to spin the ex. housing around and junk, crafted up some new brackets
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3923.aspx

new position downpipe view: putting the turbo where i did allows for the turbotech race downpipe to be re used.. just change the downpipe flange!
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3924.aspx

the new part: gonna mount the wastegate tomorrow, also see the fan shroud, had to trim out a little more since the 88 is longer than the 76. as you see i re used everything but the merge section of the tti race kit.
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3925.aspx

the pipes: my first whack and doing an oval merge.. turned out better than i expected.. wasn't planning on doing it this way, but was a nice challenge and it was the flange i got incorrectly sent.
http://www.fastrides.com/photos/mm/c...cture3919.aspx

anyhow i'm pretty pleased... keeping my fingers crossed on the oil drain situation since the center section of this turbo is mammoth compared to the 76.

i'll have the finished pics up tomorrow.

p.s. thanks for the welder rice etr, you my homie.

Take some lessons on welding too homie...Clean that up before you put it on your car
