im a different breed of a welder... i'm a turnaround hand... I weld inside of towers and on steel structures... Ive only worked in a shop twice, which wasen't a machine shop... Plus that was all reading blueprints and MIG welding... So, i have no idea of "technical" terms... But i do understand what you mean...

As for turbo, im still undecided... I have the Vulcan Turbo mani, oil line kit, and Intercooler kit on the way... Im thinking probably, since i still have the plastic intake mani, just 42lbers and a Gt28RS on 8-10lbs... then ill see how the car acts, and consider the Vulcan Intake mani, 60lbers, exedy stage 2, and a bigger clutch.... but for right now there's only so much i can do with $2200 a week and bills... So one step at a time...

I know there are classifieds, but if anyone knows of someone selling a nice turbo for a decent price PM me please! thanks!

haha... yea... 2200 a week... like to see a pay stub? haha... Naw, i just dont spend all my money on my car.. i have a LOT of money set back to build a house on some land... My bills are my car, insurance, my 450R note and im soon to get a new ZX10....

The blueprinting that we read are simple... It just tells me what kind of weld i need to make, where, and how thick the weld should be... Is that a problem?

Turbo Build:
Garrett Super60
Lucas 42lbers
Vulcan Turbo Manifold
Vulcan 2.5" Intercooler kit
Vulcan Oil line kit
Megan Racing Front Mount
Blitz BOV
Custom fabbed/Welded 3" DP&Exhaust w/ Magnaflow resonator
Trifecta tune

I will be bolting up this coming weekend if everything gets here on time... I'll also be at IFO Oklahoma City April 19 if anyone will be there...
