Thank you for your input. Where did you get the ball and socket flange? Also when you have the cold side done can or will you post pics?

Stampede.

i will keep taking pics.

i got the ball off of an old set of cats. not sure where to buy new ones. the ball is only 2.25" so it will be a place to upgrade along with the entire exhaust system someday.

i got the other turbo/wg set up done and bolted on. both turbos are permanently installed on the car. i had to clock them a little and clock one of the wg's. i fired it up for a sec to check for exhaust leaks and found none.

thats it. not enough time in the day. i should have 100% of what i need to finish it once i have time.

they have the nicest bends i have seen. some bends loose their shape when you cut them but not theirs. you can cut and clock a bend and it is perfectly round mid bend.

expensive. a 3" is $25

i wont be geting a converter anytime soon but when i do it will probably be a Circle D. i like the one in our wagon. if i am ready i might be going to mam next friday.

Sweeeeeeet. I still cant believe how fast you put that damn thing together. Shall we have some fun one night later this week? The g8 might want a rematch.

I'm flying back monday and installing the new trans and restalled converter(3800) tuesday. I have to run around monday and find a shop to swap the bellhousing and then its ready to go.
