The Sisters (juvenile slang for TWIN 38mm WG's)
Find a chisel out by the railroad tracks and sharpen it to Cub Scout presizzsh.
Tape up the line you wish to cut, using the tape as the MARKER for the length of cut.
"Let the hammer fall" onto the handle of the chisel, allowing the sharpened tip of the chisel to butter-cut through the stainless braided line.
Make one side of the freshly cut hose say, "NOM NOM"...as it should
Remove a few layers of the tape (or all for that matter) and spray some WD-40 or the like onto the freshly cut tip. Slide the one AN sleeve onto the end.
Lubricate the swivel half (that threads into the sleeve/end) and carefully, slowly thread her into the hose/sleeve end piece.
Return the chisel to the hobo you borrowed it from down by the tracks, alerting him to the freshly sharpened edge that he might use to trim his beard. Never, EVER call a hobo a "bum." A hobo will work a long hard day for small money and be grateful, while a bum ain't looking for work, just handies.

Very nice Craig. Me personally, I think I would go with the bottom high mount 666 setup, but this is positive evolution.
Your fab skills look great. There are very few things I like more than fitting up stainless piping and tig welding. Are you tacking things together with a mig, or whats your method.
Love the sisters. Very classy.

hahaha
you don't think I'm welding or fabricating do you?
lol
So much plumbing... Are the 6466 and the gt40 in the same price bracket?

Not proven yet...but I believe this may be true, but VERY insignificant and minimal to the point you would never tell on the street.
Indeed, they are practically the same price; some dealers can get a break though obviously on products they work with more often.

Well, huge props to your fabricator. I have always thought you were a 100% DIY'er.
I think the sharpie marker tracks on the exhaust of the wastegate threw me off.
So, what all was included in the kit for AR design? Everything up to this point all made by AR? How far down the car does the down pipe go? Are you going to tie the wastegates back into the exhaust? A shot of the wastegate exhaust piping and the down pipe installed from under the car would be great.
You must have someone local that you have a good relationship with. Over the last 20 years here in Utah, I have never come across someone that could execute anything remotely like what Mike R. does to finish off a installation. Ever since I held Mikes manifold and down pipe in my hands years ago, I have always thought "wow, if I could ever do anything remotely like this my self, that would be amazing".
Like most things, if I think about it enough, I start heading down the path to executing it. Sometimes it takes years, like in the case of learning to TIG weld. I wouldn't be afraid of trying it. Its very rewarding. There are very few things I enjoy doing more.
Keep up the good progress.

wow, i need to look at the forum more often. I haven't seen this.........hmmmm
So upon closer inspection of this sneaky attack on the TS fortress, i have come to the following conclusions:
1. Don't fall for the bait M3wishin is giving you, remember you have been banned more times than tupac had been shot, and you have three strikes already TI, relax.
2. AC is for girls.
3. (re) build looks good.
4. All this power will make my win even sweeter!
5. AC for a FLO-rida-ian (slang) is for little girls. Max temp in Flow rida is 85 degreez. (more slang)
6. Its still not a TS.
7. With another 200 whp and 2 liters i will still win!
*emergency TS members meeting in the OT forum; we need to discuss strategy.

It is some VERY well built/designed stuff. No hype. No curtains. No drama.

I like that.
It's not about "results" as much as the journey and learning
and self-actualization and documenting my car's "trip".
I like the photos too. My little Canon Go-Pron.
The girls have been gathering too.
Our cars will never need to be as pauerful as the others,
or be touted as such...
not making up for shortcomings.
Arriving precisely when he means to.

Looking good man. Looks like you're the 4th or 5th here of many to join the AR twin scrollzie crowd. Awaiting final results.

What is the "FINAL" result?
Let's takes a looks ats it, shalls we's?
Is it when the sound of your car scares a large dog on the side of the road into "filling it's pants"?
Is it when your whp reaches 600 on a "virtual" vJynodet?
Is it after....
