I guess I should have mentioned that I dont feel like i was pointing out anything you didnt alread know. Sorry.

No worries... I just know how armchair QB's are frustrating. You have everything in hand, and I am sure if you need advice you will ask for it.

One question. Wont the bumper melt, being so close to the turbo and all? What you should do is make the bumper out of aluminum, or carbon fiber.

ok well some progress pic of the manifold. still have a lot let to do like port match the manifold to the tgv housing witch i think i am just going to weld them together cause the gasket is smaller then the tgv hole so there would be a step and i dont want that. also have to mount a plate on it that i will be able to tap into for vacuum lines and stuff and have places to atach wires and hoses to to keep them tucked away and hidden. also need a cable stop for the tb cable ect..

so far they have been ported and polished to a smooth *** shine. and every thing internal has been smoothed and finished. so lots still to do but hear are some pics.
