I would think any fab/ welding shop in your area could do it, I am a pipefitter and could fab one at work for my self, but kinda hard to get it out in my lunch box LOL.

I am going to try the local exhaust shop. The older guys seem to know what they are doing. I found the wastegate and turbo flange for a good price at Kooks Custom Headers and as soon as they come in, I'll have a pipe welded up from Aluminized.

New pipe welded up and working.

I replaced the Wastegate spring with a Blue one. Now the boost is 7.5# without messing with the boost controller. I'll have to re-tune it so I don't pump out too much boost.

Anyone got a perference for a BOV that doesnt cost a fortune?
