Frame help!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok clearanced the turbo by way-laying the crap out of the framerail....have about an inch clearance from the turbo and the framerail now... I had to beat on the passenger side framerail from the front gusset to the rear gusset and even broke the weld on the rear gusset....

NOW the question is:

"How will my car be affected?"

Will my mod job affect the intergrity of my car or will it not be affected?

Should I have braces welded in?

Thanks guys:

NO it won't hurt it at all. In fact why don't you just cut the frame rail off. That'll give you the clearance you need.

Think first, then ask.

I figured you were a teenager, You should know better than that! Maybee take it to a frame shop, they could make it stonger than before. It could be boxed in that spot, broken weld repaired, gussets added. Just kidding about the first remark.(sort of)
