Keep up the good work Dusty! And don't you lose motivation just yet, it's hard enough watching Henry struggle to finish his project!!

Kinda sad I spent the time on the bracket, I doubt you'll be able to see it once the monster of a radiator is in.... lol Oh well good milling practice....

I have received my 36-1 trigger wheel and I just ordered my crank and cam sensors. I was going with a Honeywell 1gt101dc, but I decided to make my own sensor housing.... We'll see I guess......

Thread/project from the dead......

I have been busy these last few months with a new job, the birth of my son, and a move. (I HATE moving btw) Anyway, I have had very little time to work on the charger but I'm trying to sneak out to the garage (now a little two car garage) when I can.....

I just made this piece and I'm a bit proud (hints the post) of the way it turned out. I needed some way to connect my budget turbos to the down pipe as these turbos use a sealing ring instead of a V-band. The OE piece is cast so I made this guy that I can weld to instead...

The factory adapter pipe is siting on top..



Turning down and tapering the end to make welding easier.



Finished piece, one down, one to go.
