Little Update on my 4 Valve Turbo setup.

My fab guy called me to come up and take a look at where he's at so far. He ended up doing a great job so far. He had to change the Intercooler outlet to get what he considered an "acceptable fit", and I have to agree I like what he's thinking. Tomorrow he'll be working on the MAF flange and BOV. Once the cold side is mocked up I can get it to the Powdercoater while he bangs away on the hot side. That 4" pipe is farking huge. Makes my engine look like it should have VTECH stamped on it

Anyways, here's where I stand on the 4 Valve Lightning of Doom
