question, what size rod did you buy for the tubing?
As for the filler rod its 1/16''. Its what my dad had on hand, not sure if its correct size for that application, am simply just trying ti learn the motions and such currently.IG @gt3_brz

Some more practice welding. Ive for the most part got the technique down of using the filler rod. Ive now got to work on heat management, which part of my issue is torch angle, believe I have it laying back to far.

Once I was to a point where I was confident enough to weld on a part I had spent money on I started prepping the turbo mounts. Theses mounts are made for several turbos so I had to enlarge the mount holes slightly.

With them able to now be bolted up to the turbos I mocked up both turbos to measure the distance to cut some tube and welder-up!

Alright, continuing from the last update. Hit a bot of an milestone. Turbos are mounted and supported by their own weight! Finally felt confident with my welding to weld the mount I made to the chassis. Don't have much to talk about as ill let the photos do the talking. My son was out with me giving me a helping hand as well.

Wastegates came in on Monday. Got to work making some tubes made up to fit. I will be doing a few pie cuts to reduce their angle off the main tube. Also fitted the front end for the first time since finalizing turbo mounting. Trimmed up the header panel to make room for the compressor to clock how I would like. And lastly I was sent a new set of coiler sleeves as my last set randomly seized up. Put the new ones on and set her on the ground to see how she looks with the turbos mounted.
