Default Re: Budget Turbo Build... From the ground up

Looks great to me.
I think some people really spoiled by prefabbed stuff and can't appreciate a DIY job.

Since you're working on a motor outside the car, how do you know the turbo will clear everything properly?
Even with my smallish IHI turbo I wouldn't have dared to weld up the manifold outlet and flange outside the car.
I first welded T3 flange to the radial flange, bolted that to the turbo, test fitted it, marked, cut and then welded the radial flange to the manifold.
