Made some progress this weekend. Still waiting on some parts for the install, so we couldn't go too far with it. Currently working on the intake charge pipe, which is by far the most lengthy and tedious part of the whole project.
The remainder of the parts are due in this week, so next weekend it will really begin to take shape

Man. My welds look like hammered dog **** in that picture. I don't know what it is about cameras, pictures of your handywork never look good once you post em on the internet.
