Agreed. Pretty sure the Nelson Performance twin turbo C4 build was the inspiration behind it, as certain references they made during the video were taken directly from that build video, though he did mention Nelson once or twice already. These types of builds are sweet because they look almost factory, and they both took the time and paid close attention to detail. Hoping to run into that car sometime this summer in NYC, would be nice to check it out in person...

Jesus. You know how there are some welds that are so clean, they could be considered "weld ****"? The welds in that video are more like homemade **** shot on HI8 with the night vision turned on, then dubbed onto a VHS tape your grandmother used to religiously record every episode of Murder She Wrote and Star Trek The Next Generation for thirty years before handing it down. I'm just saying, it plays out like a grainy snuff film where the victim is the car and the welder's sense of pride in his work. Other than that, it's all good.

Haha, yeah, the welds were definitely kind of on the rough side and look like they were done with a potato.... but I don't think they were out to win any bead awards though, as they were pressed for time lol. But yeah, if it were me I would have a least waited to show the results of the log manifolds after being smoothed down and coated...

I skipped through a lot of the video, but it's a lot nicer setup than I've seen in a while. My only issue is the lack of actual air filter.

Interesting log style manifold. It works.
