    I was thinking of getting a eBay turbo manifold and weld on a Subaru turbo flange so then I can just interchange between scooby turbos and making finding different turbos to upgrade to easy to find and cheap

          I rocked my bottlecaps until the tires were junk, and then someone gave me some free tires so I ran those for another year before I got the contour reps.  I would recommend lots of burnouts to dispose of them lol.  After looking at that turbo, the hot side inlet might be a standard pattern, I have a shiny downpipe that might fit, let me dig around the basement a bit.

            Don't mess around with a subie turbo man, unless you are doing some cool compound setup. The larger of the two turbos in a compound setup should be sized for your total power level. 

            This is an m20 no? Just stick with the hx35 thing. Works well can't go wrong and its cheap.

              So what does one do the night before scooters with a rusty as hell rear valance with the daylight dwindling??? YES!!! lets fix that valance and get her looking sharp!?!? Let's do some body work they said, it'll be fun they said...

              not a great before shot but you can see what I had to deal with...

              095EC948-C7D8-47E1-8302-792320A5C15Ezps

              finally getting somewhere after fabbing patches and grinding for like 2 hours with the new Bosch grinder! Mi padre and some classy beer were helping

              9C7B7AA8-7B02-45EA-9A4B-321CFD988EA6zps

              Finally ready for some spray bombing!

              DF61F5D7-03D9-4116-A039-674847EAE891zps

              7C608AED-5FA9-4AE2-8A55-B6C89B732E89zps

              no more bumper mount holes!

              B869C864-C894-4CA8-9F52-86132526A66Dzps

              Then just to get her done for now some plastidip (it was almost 4am when I left the shop! Thanks again Dad!)

              CBB807EE-65D9-4E18-B960-09DC427312ECzps

              Also if you have manual seats you have a cupholder!

                          Is that spray foam?  Or what did you fill the hole with?  It looks great BTW.
