Awesome and/or crazy turbo project. You pick.

The welds on the plenum are a little on the cold side. With it being so cold out (I only keep the shop about 52F when it's 20F outside) it's really hard to keep enough heat in the plenum without overloading the 200a welder. I already burnt up the air cooled torch and made an adapter to attach a larger one. I finally resorted to holding the plenum in front of the salamander to warm it up. I may go over them again later.

Time for a cutter chucked in the drill press and the part clamped in a cross-slide vise.
I don't think that you need to be ashamed of that welding.
If you let us know where you are institutionalized, some of us might show up on visiting day...

Oh sorry. Indianapolis. I'll fix my sig. And, uh, yeah...drilling the holes in the plenum was pretty funny. I think I used the plenum to clear the table once. Next time I'll use the drill press.

You raised the question regarding fuel injector angle and your decision. I was curious why you defied convention and didn't angle the shot at the back of the intake valve.
