    Well, i made my downpipe, completed the rest of the charge piping. Just small stuff now. Gotta weld a straight pipe from the last angle on the dp to the catback, And i gotta make a dump tube, but that shud be easy as cake. Just all my welding is done at a welding shop where the owner lets me use his tig set up. I dont make the worlds prettiest welds, but they sure are strong as ♠♠♠♠. lol. TIG welding is tough. Im getting pretty proficient at it though.

    i always wanted to turbocharge my 2.2 when i had it. good luck, its gonna be one hell of a ride but i was too damn lazy so
    My turbo build was
    1) go to a dealer
    2)force em to take my sh1t
    3)tell em to give me that SS
    4) drive that sh1t home on boost
    5) and finally make the boost face (+1 if you get this reference)
    lol

    Bought some new tires today, after 23000 miles and full winter the star specs were officially toast. Got some all season potenzas to last me till next summer when i get new rims. So far they aren't bad, but no Star Specs
