just burn em

Just out for a nice drive doing some burnouts and rolling burnouts.

necking out the 80mm

i dont want to use the Vband outlet on the 80mm and its nicked up anyway in shipping, so i asked if my friend could weld a gooseneck on it that i could use with my exisitng 3.5 inch coupler in the same area, and wham! he did.

downpipe for the big turbo

my friend Jace gave me a down pipe that he used on his old turbo and it fits mine perfect, so i can use that when i move over to the 80mm
