Hi Paul,

    Here are several photos of my new intake system (still in the works

as

you can see).  Decided to try using thin wall (.058) tubing rather than
pipe. Have 1 1/2" OD tube for primary and 1 5/8"  OD for secondary.

I used a new "2nd" generation

brazing/soldering rod that requires no flux and is the easiest to use by
far.

As you can see, plenty of room for the turbo to see on top of its

manifold

thanks to your low profile casting.

P.S have not forgotten about the data collection.  Had to reorder the

GPS

cable from Garmin as mine turned out to have a defect.  Should be in
shortly.

I was wondering when someone would try the flange :) Good idea but
extra work of course. I busted my buns trying to get that manifold
in there between the stock turbo and the block :)

Sorry about the bolt hole breakouts. Looks like you will need
small aluminum blocks tig welded on in those areas
adjacent to those bolt holes. Fixed on the next batch.

Yes, a bit more work, but given my motor mount, not certain I could wiggle
in a one piece intake.  No problem on the bolt hole breakout - only one
brokeout and that is a piece of cake to fix - compared to trying to weld up
a tube arrangement to a flange, but 1/4" more cast material on that edge
wouldn't hurt {:>).  That new brazing alloy is suppose to be good for
building up broken flanges, so we'll give it a try.
