      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.

          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

          no more bumper mount holes!

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

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

                                I think smoked turn signal lenses would be a nice touch since they would be hidden a little better.

                                          Wasnt a fan of that manifold design when i was shopping manifolds. I dont like how the tubes point at eachother at the turbo flange
