By then, you'll have saved up enough to have one of us fancy-weldin folks to make you a stainless one
Oh yeah I can't forget about that wastegate flange. Still trying to decide what size wastegate to go with too. The truck is a daily driver...well kinda... I will be driving it quite a bit. I have my BMW and my wife's Maxima too. Probably wont drive it too much in the winter time though. South Dakota winters are freakin terrible. I might hit boost and slide straight into a ditch lol. Maybe after a while i'll find someone who can do a ss kit for me but the mild kit will have to do for now.
