Next task was to build the Intake, which i know would be the hardest task due to the short amount of space i had. I also had to transition in aluminum from 3 to 4 inch and also clear the hood. It will be wrinkle black.

The -20 coolant feed line would no clear the turbo, so i had to build a hard line to get around it.. it will be wrinkle black.

I like the idea looks like you put a lot of work in to it but I think you should do something with the intake pipe looks a little off.but other then that great job.

Yeah got a tig and mig, been welding for about 5 years or so.. just getting my feet wet with aluminum, but I think I got it figured out now..

I am open to suggestions.. if you have a better Idea throw them out there... Ill see how it looks powder coated wrinkle black and Ill go from there.
