Justin, I'm not personally doing the work...I have my best fab guy in shop doing the work.
We have a few suppliers that we deal with internationally.

wow you spent a lot of time on that! very nice
how did you make that peice with the turbo flage? was that just 3" that you crimped and bent around to fit? it looks like it fits soo well to both the flange and your collector. please share some tips!
also, there is a bolt hole on the turbo flange that looks impossible to get to because of one of the runners. left hole closest to the head flange.
GOODLUCK with the rest of it!
