look at the hole in the tab! holes are about the only thing i can make nicely in steel because there is a tool that makes them perfectly called a DRILL BIT.  someone email garagistic and tell them about drill bits, please.

attention to detail!!

Laser cut a bracket with holes complete easy and cheap don't need to drill, but laser burns oversize when you start the cut. All they needed to do is start laser off the finished edge, but that takes more time/money.

edit: looking at other pics, they look better.  but, for $18/pr cut and formed, that's cheap.   The adj. links for $60 look like a deal as well.

Has anyone been to anything at the Pabst Theater? I'm going to Joey Diaz on 4/20 after the Brewer game. It's like just sit wherever you can get once the door opens? How long should we be out front if we want decent seats?

Maximum turbo RPM?

While trying to find the answer to this question, I've determined that the tips of my compressor wheel will go supersonic somewhere around 117k rpm (±20-ish% depending on pressure and temperature...). This seems like it would be a Bad Thing, and yet the compressor map goes up to 170k rpm without any disturbance is flow/efficiency.

Conclusion? I have no idea what I'm doing.

Best I can figure is that since the air is moving axially and not tangentially, it will never reach the speed of the compressor wheel... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This guy has some great videos.

[YoungCR]

I've watched that video a couple times now. I have a few diff's waiting around for that treatment. Also a bucked of hardware to sort into bins too. I really need a permanent garage...

I would love to do this, but the internals make me nervous.

[YoungCR]

Same here but I figure worse case I can use a check book wrench to have it put back together properly.
