Got the mount done for the turbo today now I just need to cut open the base and adapt it to a 3" pipe shouldnt be to bad..... or will it lol. I got a buddy grabing me my v band and pipe for the charge side and the hot side 5" pipe witch I will adapt down as quickly as possible to 4" once under the car it goes into 4" oval pipe. I am starting to get really excited about this build (thank god I was starting to loose motivation lol. Also I have the fabric on order to finish up the interrior stuffage lol. will post more pics as they come.

Heres a picture to show how the pipes merge together. They are open in the center. I still have got to grind down the extra metal inside but my neighbors would kill me if kicked on the die grinder now lol

I got some more done on the hotside feed pipe. I still need to add the wastegate tube though. That being said what size pipe is ideal for this? Also I know I need to leave the main tube at a 45 degree angle but can I have anouther 45 degree ish (depending on what bend is needed to have the wastegate level) in the same pipe?

Here is what I have so Far
