Thanks, the passenger side should be done next week, and the new turbos and AAP/Twin Zirgo fans arrived. I am hoping that DC will complete their fabbing and painting by the end of June...

Those headers are incredible! Very near to equal length tubes. Beats the heck out of the "log" headers. Very nice!

Ryan, those manifolds are absolutely impressive looking. I agree with Scott that they absolutely blow the doors off of the log style headers that are currently in circulation. They look like the 2JZ-GTE manifolds that cost $2500. This is definitely a testament to your "no cutting corners" mentality.

Gang, here are pics of the passenger side manifold, it is tacked and almost completed. I also have pics of the new Borg Warner S256 Stainless Steel Turbos, polished. Making good progress.

Hopefully, this project will be running by the end of July, 2008....
I am very pleased with DC's work...

Gang:
Here is a further update. Finally, we are making some serious progress. I actually am beginning to think that this car will be complete and running soon...It is exciting. I apologize that you have to see some of it being rebuilt, almost like watching the same movie twice, but some are worth it, you know? DC does some awesome work...
More pics of the passenger side header:

Notice the quality welds and beads that Mike lays down...sweetness, pure sweetness

More coming...
