I wish I had more pictures of the manifold to show but its simple you get the idea. this coming friday we plan to finish the coldpipe, IC pipe, and the down pipe.

had two flanges machined with three exhaust ports each tied together with 1.5'' black pipe to a 3/4'' T4 flange.

Synapse 50mm gate

gettin some ideas.

welded on v-bands machined hx52 ex hsg to fit hx40 and coated turbine hsgs

dont know if air shutoff will be used but looks cool anyways

more turbos

That's very pretty. I wish my TIG skills were up to par, you make it look easy.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it.

Don't know how these tractor injectors will work Weston, dude I got them from is some crazy nonconformist playin with a lathe in his shop Haha, thanks man.

All this was done in a wee bitty garage with hand tools and a scratch start tig setup ran off of a Lincoln buzz box! Friend let me use his nice tig to do the v bands and did the exhaust housing machining for free, America...fuk yeah!

I'm glad you decided to leave Volvo on the secondary compressor, throw those inquirers off base.

And to answer your question though, a bear does not sh!t in the woods if it lives in a zoo haha

I'd have way to much fun with that, telling everyone I got It off an 80s Volvo wagon at the junk yard. LOL

Looks great guys! I expect video of a very embarrassed Corvette driver!
