I know, no wastegate dump in these pics. Have to have it Tig welded to the exhaust and the flange, it's all stainless. Also the top bolt on the header was stripped out when I bought the car, can't get one in it. Got the TurboSmart boost controller in tho, works great! Also I'm making a new top mount for the radiator, that one is temporary but holds it in for now.

And ya, car is very dirty, just got back from Thanksgiving trip. Like my dope rimz? lol

It's not grounding the engine block as is, because the valve cover and head are separated by a non conductive rubber gasket.

Gotcha, I'll move it after work.

BTW, some idiot hooked up his boost controller backwards....Ya I fixed it for him and now it actually does what it's supposed to. I hooked it up correctly and it built 15psi because I forgot to turn it all the way down and work up, but now I keep it set at 6 until I get it tuned.
