Just finished with the 02 housing and wastegate dump last night. The welds look ugly, and they are for the most part, but it should work nicely and ugly welds won't really matter when it's all stainless and will be ground down and then wrapped in header wrap.
 There are more pictures of the 02 housing in the gallery. The intercooler pipes are absolutely beautiful, I'll get more pics of those and the other new stuff (BOV, turbo, wastegate, etc...) as I put it all on the car on Saturday. I'm looking forward to having a running DSM again and not having to drive the beater Evo everywhere. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

That piece looks awesome Kris, bet it flows plenty. The only ugly part is the welding, and maybe the use of straight pipes instead of curves, but the welding is all the MIG's fault. TIG is where its at.
Its a hell of a lot prettier than the only fabricated part on my car, my little tranny stiffening bracket. -------------------- Eric Wort
