    clay it looks good are you going to build another "Y" for a external wastegate so the exhaust gasses flow correctly into the gate?

    Kinda like this??

    Once I can find an argon cylinder I'm hoping I can contribute to this thread since this just showed up today.

    The Diversion is a great 'lil welder, you will pick it up really quickly using that box if you don't already know how.

    Never done TIG and I read the diversion makes it a breeze. Set it and go. Gonna be doing small projects here and there, some aluminum for intercooler piping and stainless exhaust. I'm super excited to get rolling

    Does this mean that you are not selling and are going to finish your build?

    LOL. Who knows. If I get an offer I'll sell it, but in the mean time I've continued working on the car. I'm wiring in the aquamist and tons of gauges this weekend and finishing up the engine. I'd really like to go twin scroll, but have the steed. I really don't want the scavenge pump, but I might just do it

    Part of my xmas gift was a new chuck for my lathe - stock is 3". Replaced it with a 5". Very cool - can hold much larger diameter stock with confidence. Can go through-chuck up to 1.125"


    5" Chuck vs 3" Chuck by Jon Kensy, on Flickr

    Awesome upgrade if you're looking at this lathe.

    This is it - little guy just for hobby stuff:

    http://www.grizzly.com/products/7-x-...al-Lathe/G8688

    Quite affordable and quite accurate. Going to the 5" chuck expands what it can do big time.

    I think that is their mad manifold that they were building for their 1xxx HP build. 1.5" diameter runners.
