Very nice header work and interesting air plumbing. No charge air cooler?
Draw through carbureted system (to keep the spirit of the original 1975 turbo build)...will be using water/methanol injection ..... like in the 70s but programmable (an upgrade from the 70s system he DIY)
I am shooting for 1500lbs with me in it and 200hp that's enough to hurl it well into the 11s even though I probably won't drag race it...
Tacking new up pipe together brought back memories of aircraft jet engine welding on the flightline in the Air Force...laying down and using knee to run foot pedal, right, left, forehand and backhand welding

Tacking together
New vs old turbo up pipe
Then new up pipe
Used this for backup since I am not setup to run argon backup....not "sanitary grade"
but better than stainless "sugar" on backside of weld...exhaust worthy I think...
Looks like it will fit ....turbo is above frame rail and within it's outer edge (framing square), I tried to stay within the "real estate" of the original build....started on oil drain (goes where fuel pump was) and figuring out oil supply line and turbo support.
Amazing work...can't wait to see the carb/meth/turbo setup.
"will out accelerate a Daytona Ferrari from 0 - 120mph!" old brochure that came with TCST...
That's the kind of stuff I want to make posters out of to hang in my shop lounge. Thank you for sharing
