Put my brackets on and had to redo some of the pre turbo pipe, but it's all 100% done now. Next up is the down pipe, FINALLY.

I meant to be outside working on the car all day today, but my wife and I got absolutely fried in the sun yesterday, so we've been laying on the couch like cooked lobsters all day.

I'm kinda at a standstill any way. I don't have the right size V band for the downpipe. Currently, I have a 3.5" on there which works ok for mock up, but I need a 3" to secure it properly. The tough part will be getting a 3" V band on 3.5" tubing. Fun, fun.

Once I do that, I can make mounts for it and secure it permanently. I have a bunch of assembly I can work on in the meantime, still need a distributor and a clutch. I'm sure more will pop up too.

How much?

I paid $50 for it at the LKQ last week. You can have it for that + shipping. Comes with both factory connectors which are $15 each. . Painted it SEM trim black. It has a crack on the top right of the shroud that does not impact the fans

So, when it's not raining down there, I guess you're running around naked in the noon day sun?
