That's exactly how I did mine too. Angle grinder, nasty cuts, primed & painted to prevent rust, covered up with bits of split hose. I get what he's saying though. The whole rest of the car was done so beautifully with all that precision machine work, tig welding, etc. Then you see these holes cut out like that. I guess everyone was expecting you to take the chassis to a waterjet to have them CNC cut or something 
Very nice work. I wish I had access to all that stuff. I'm forced make do with a flux core welder and a drill press!

Thanks!
I know what you both mean, I like everyone's opinions on this stuff!
All that really needs to be done to clean it up is to use a better material to outline the holes. Hose was what I had available at the time. I'll be thinking about what I can do.
Got a fan in today!

Well, lots has been going on and i'm back to working on my car again. Not much excitement yet, but there's lots of parts on the way. Having my own garage now helps a ton. Last years part of this build was done in the driveway and it was terrible.

Pulling the blown up 13B out.
Picked up another 13B from Kitchener for the internal parts. It needed oil seals so it was perfect for what I needed it for.
New clutch to replace my super sketchy ACT from last year. Unsprung Comp Clutch stg 4
Got around to getting both engines apart today. Finally saw the damage on the blown up one.

This was the culprit for my engine damage. The cat had clogged, and in the middle of a 2nd gear pull this blew out the tailpipe, spiking boost pressure over 20psi. Cracked a seal, leaving my house later that day it tossed a seal. Live and learn I guess.

I actually just sold my Hybrid, and bought a Garrett GT4082. My power goals were just a bit higher than the hybrid would make. As for the turbo, I loved it! It spooled fast and was reliable because it was plumbed stock. The only thing I would make sure to do is port the wastegate or run an external unit. The higher flow will make the wastegate bottleneck much more evident.
I recommend 60-1 /S5 hybrids to anyone wanting 300-350 hp.

Thanks a lot man!
It came out with a huge "diesel like" cloud of black, I was quite shocked lol. I immediately turned around and picked it up. After it had a really rough start (Cracked seal), I checked my data logs of that afternoon, and realized it had spiked.
