there are a few viewers and no comments, ok lets see what happens this time around. I will start the comments off, i dont know um looks ok. it looks like you combined a couple of your turbo kit attempts. and came up with this. seems ok, nothing really appeals to me like wow thats nice, header is ok down pipe ok, intercooler ok i guess. it all looks functionable just not the nicest. what ever came of the impulse replica? is it out on the snow?, would like to hear the running feedback. good work.
Guess I can say good job for trying something on your own. Might want to do some more practice welding before buidling something. That's my advice.
Welding looks pretty damn good to me Lunch Box.....and I have seen his work in person.
First of all spooled my rear mount was not just an attempt i had 1400 miles on that kit and worked flawless. Second the reason for changing my kit is i wanted the spool of a front mount. I was gonna build a complete one off kit but i didnt want my sled down and the snow started falling so i did use parts of my other kit to get it going. Im not finished. thanks for your word! my buddies front mount kit works awesome also had a few lil bugs to work out at the start but other then that has been flawless at 300 miles or so. when u build your own kit there gonna have bugs if u copy or not. iv never seen pauls kit in person so all of my buddies kit is my own demensions and own special features. thanks sledhead162

welds
Don't get worked up over what someone says about the welds. I do agee with them they are not the prettiest welds I have ever seen. But on the other hand they do look to be functional and strong and should do the job. Tig welding aluminum is a real art. I myself cannot keep a nice uniform bead for long distances but I can sure post up a picture of some very nice welds if people want.

What are you using for a fuel tank?

Once you delete the stock exhaust system and go to a lightweight skid, this area is the logical place to put the fuel tank from a weight distribution perspective.

I guess i should of asked which welds he was talking about because i built that intercooler which was my first thing building anything out of alum, after about 5 hours of practicing tig welding. thanks
I guess u can
Alrighty, dont have any parts that are for sleds but here are some parts that I have made for some automotive applications.
This thread perfectly demonstrates why this forum sucks now.
A guy starts a thread on his custom turbo setup and it turns into a show and tell about who can weld better?
If you don't have something positive to add go kick your dog, put don't post on here. We don't want to hear it.

Easy there cowboy, sledhead162 asked for opinions and I gave my opinion about how the welds looked. He asked me to show some pics of my welding capabilities before making a comment so I did. He asked for opinions, so he is going to get both good and bad and im sure he is fully aware of this. I gave him credit for trying something new and building his own setup, just said that his welding needs some work.
Justify it all you want, you were being derogatory and we both know it.
lunch box where did i ever ask for your opinion or comment and to see your welds? what welds need work u never stated? just wondering i know its not the topic.
