Yep, that's significant progress, are you going to have enough time to get it rolling, or just another step in that direction?
Looking good for sure.

It should be finished within 2 weeks. I know for a fact I won't be able to run for tx2k but it will be drivable. Finally.

Is it just me or are those welds pretty bad looking? Cool project though for sure interested in the results.

IMHO, the welds look pretty normal for aluminum. Probably used a pretty fat filler rod to fill some gaps between the pipes. I'd definitely expect tighter welds if they were using stainless tubing.

At the rate my friend is going to finishing, I think this should be up and running by the end of this week or next.
Got the waste gates done just an hour ago.
