Thanks!

I'm definitely open for criticism if anyone thinks something should be done differently or a better way on anything. I know there's many people here that have built turbo motors.

Needed to add ports for the diverter valve. Picked up a china special 1" barb at the hardware store for next to nothing.

Step 1 - Cut in half with a hack saw because your air compressor stopped compressing.


Step 2 - Drill a hole in some tube.


Step 3 - Do some grinding.


Step 4 - Weld some metal together. Be very careful you clean parts like this really well before welding them as they usually have a zinc coating on them. Have good ventilation and a fan preferably to blow fumes away. You can get very sick if you inhale them. Yes, I cannot weld thin walled tubing to save my life.


Step 5 - Install thing you made. Fits like a glove.


Final intake piping layout. Much cleaner than originally.

looks like CCH line code part lol

I doubt anyone else here will get that. It's actually from the ace hardware plumbing section.

Been working out of town this week, I will see what I can do to get you a couple wiring diagrams this weekend

Today I decided to mount the water/meth. I was originally going to hold off on it till everything was running, but had an awesome idea on where to mount it.

Pulled out the welder.


Since I removed the automatic wiring, I now had a nice hole for the water/meth line. It even has a grommet!


Found some scrap metal I had laying around and made a mounting bracket for the reservoir and the pump.


Welded it to my diy strut bar.

mmm parts.

Had to get a new air filter. With the changed intake piping the filter hit the battery so it had to be an inch shorter. Also grabbed the newish Innovate MTX-L which is really compact with the controller built into the gauge.

sweet!
