Without bracing that is going to crack after your first run, especially with the quality of welds I see there. Heat shield and wrap is a must, there's a lot of delicate wiring in that area that isn't prepared for a red hot turbo. Looks similar to the Gude kit back in the day.

Completly off topic but... Has anybody ever thought of takingthe turbo off of a stock turbocharged car (let's say... An srt4?) And running it like its a N/A motor? Sticking an air filter on the throtle body and running the downpipe off of the turbo manifold...? Completly pointless I know that, but its been an idea in the back of my mind sence iv been in the car scene...

Yep, I collected a varity of wrenches over the years for just such projects with matching busted knuckles. Its always worth when you start it up and purrrrs! Or screams with a turbo. Very creative.
