That merge is pretty impressive for a first shot my first one took forever cuz my Sawzall cut off center of my line and I ended up having to do a f*** ton of grinding to get the seam centered, But when I did it was a beautiful merge transition.... but rusted out after four years in Chicago weather right on either side of my welds in the crotch.

For the Cressida I had researched inducing a spiral into the exhaust flow counter to the direction of turbine blades, help give the turbine wheel a little more kick with each exhaust pulse.

I am

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

[IceCreamAssassin]

I don’t care if it looks stock, but gonna use the stock grill. Well it’s probably a cheap repop, whatever came with the truck.

 

[SleeperLS]

Some mock up for cold side and started working fuel system. Gonna try to use stock tank switch as it says it handles 65psi. We will find out I guess.

Starting wiring, got new injectors in, started downpipe with cutout.

So where should it be mounted?

So where should it be mounted?

i wonder if the thought is because if the motor moves so much it could tear the fuel line from the firewall?

spitballing.

also a roundabout way to bump this thread.
