All my welding has been self taught. Still can't weld aluminum and not the best at welding mild steel with the TIG.. Welding the 304 was cake.

Very lucky
Noticed a bit of a leak from the righ hand rear wheel area (stress crack) then came back from small drive (only two full power hits) check car next night, and saw a heavy amount of oil on the ground, thought better get under car and have closer look
found a bigger crack than on a cheap hooker 
Result from minor bottoming out under full power in 3rd and 4th gear near 7000rpm exceeded it usefull life and could have cost me mine !

haha.. bigger crack than a cheep hooker...
But yeah, that is the kind of stuff that needs to watched. Don't want to think about what would happen if an axle tube broke loose! I think I should crawl under my car tomorrow and give it once over to make sure everythign is ok after driving it over 170 miles now.

*update*
Now that it's winter I'm going to change the manifold WG runners a bit. With the manifold in it's current state I get boost creep even with a 46mm WG fully actuated.
I have a few pic's of what it looks like after 3500 miles. It has held up awsome! The only thing that has changed is the color a bit. But anyways... Tell me what you think I should do to get better control over my boost.

So are you going to modify your existing manifold or build a new one? (i want your old one )
congrats on the good build -- looks like it held up just fine.
ps. I subscribed to this thread long ago and was surprised to see an update!
