Looks good. Do you have any pictures of the bracket holding the turbo?

thanks guys! my goals? i want reliable power! id like to see somewhere between 700-800rwhp with this setup. i will try to get a pic of the turbo bracket. i took a piece of 1"flat stock, heated and bent the end of the bar to conform to the fender. then i took another piece of flat stock, heated and bent the end to fit the frame, and welded it to the flat bar coming off the fender for some strength.

the red one is about twice the size in height, and and not as fat . . . seals way better, and it's harder to pinch
