I like the home made paint booth, I'll be doing the same!

Is that a HF manifold modified for an external wastegate? Did you fab that yourself? I'd like to see some more pics of that if you got em 8)

yup its a HF mani and i machined a flange for the WG and I had a friend that was a little better at welding to weld it up for me, its still going strong too, as some of you knwo your not supposed to weld steel to cast iron.

Sorry the pics are bad quality(camera phone)
