haha fair enuff then. just need to weld together my first inlet and then once the engines built i csn put a long straight onto the crank pulley to line up the charger pulley so i know where to weld the baseplate to the pipes.. its all fun and games.lol

Haha yer, your inlet looks amazing by the way , when I get a bit of time sometime, I might measure the inlet and everything up so I could make a few more or something , keep it up .
