Did you really make a bracket out of a knife?

No, I just took one that was lying around the shop and practiced welding on it. Now its stuck to a 2" section of stainless pipe.

OK, reworked my downpipe, now its just on the verge of being "OK".....

Its hard doing this with only 18" of room to work with under the car!

Got the downpipe "done"......

Its only a 2.5" with 2.5 back exhaust for now... Which means I will be redoing the ENTIRE thing once I have the money for 3"....

Hope the fucking thing fits.

Have you even tried closing the hood yet?

How easy will it be to switch the configuration around and have the supercharger feed the turbo?

It closes fine.

A real pain, but I am not going to do that. Worst case scenerio, the SC is evicted and I am turbo only.

The compressor specs are...

compressor = 58 mm inducer, 76 exducer and the turbine is 56 mm and 64 mm

I fabbed a oil drain line...

I would continue and be done with it, but am waiting on an EBAY external wastegate...... So I can't continue until I know where the hell its gonna fit....

I'm really curious to see how this plays out.

I'll attest to stainless being a pain to mig. I did all mine with C25 and it wasn't too bad. I just had to get balsy and let it torch. The puddle doesn't like to move so much.
