Welding would be a good idea, and one that I've thought about, the only problem is w/ the way my pipes run there would only be a couple that got welded together. I'm going to be changing the couplers from blue to red so at that point instead of buying the couplers for the locations that I can weld I will do it at that time. Thanks for looking and making suggestions though guys, I appreciate it.

As for stealing pipes, it's kinda hard to get in the GARAGE where the car is kept when I'm not driving it lol.

Who said anything about stealing, unless you keep your underpants up under there the Gnomes will just be going about their way leaving your firewall squeaky clean.

So I think we maybe finally figured out step 2 to the Underpants Gnomes' business model...

Step 1: Steal Underpants
Step 2: Unknown
Step 3: PROFIT!

Now we now that Step 2 is "Clean firewalls". The profit comes in when they send people (ie Skunk) a bill for the firewall cleaning. And it's 100% profit b/c they didn't pay for the underpants! Excellent.

On a side note I finished up the wastegate dump tube tonight, sorry no pics as of yet, batteries are dead in camera. I pick up the rest of the parts for the wastegate on Friday and then I'm just waiting on my exhaust gasket to get here.

Yep. Putting it into the downpipe just was turning out to be more of a pain then it was worth.

Well here's the new wastegate that I've been talking about...





Got a couple more things that I decided to do while the car was down so sadly no startup...yet.

One is a different coolant tank and the other is for me to know and you guys to wait and see final assembly pics. lol

I've got plenty of paint, lol, it would just take a good sprayin of brake clean it's only carbon build up back there. Besides that, if the engine bay were gettin painted it would be black under there. Can't fig what my fixation is w/ black engine bays right now...hmmm...maybe to help hide the grease and grim that's under the hood lol.

And about the other stuff, meh, it's done it's over. I try not to hold a grudge, although there are a couple people the I will probably NEVER get along with.
