The orientation of the last two pictures threw me off, made me want to ask what lathe model it was. =D

Lol, I wish I had a lathe, one day... I took the pictures with my phone, and sometime the orientation changes when I upload on here....

The gt1752 was a waste of time, I can't even unbolt the exhaust side, will bring it back to the scrap yard ASAP for a store credit... And they're less reliable than the td04, newer Saab 95s have them, with the same t25 flange, will wait for another one to come up at the scrap or Kijiji.
For sure I'll try the Saab td04 15t, maybe a 19t upgrade whenever I find something.

Hopefully I'll have time to weld the wastegate inlet tomorrow, it's cast, so it'll crack if I don't preheat it to 500f, I have a spare exhaust/outlet flange in case I mess up.

Finished the exhaust outlet flange earlier today, it was quite a task... Not pretty welds, but they should hold up, will probably give the welds a last touch/pass.

I fought with the internal wastegate flapper for awhile, I should have used a rotary tool with a small cutting wheel but I was impatient and did all the cutting with a grinder.

I'm finally almost done, welded to the whole exhaust, routed the intercooler piping and intake piping.
The exhaust was not as easy I thought it would have been, the car is on ramps so I had to mark and take the whole exhaust off in order to tack weld every pieces I added, I didn't not feel comfortable tacking from under the car.
The intake was really hard to route, I'm afraid it will break one of the brake lines going to the rear, will post pics soon.
I want to finish this asap, get her out of the garage and start tuning.

Only thing left is injectors, spark plugs, all the vacuum hoses, and tapping the block, I'm thinking of doing like Peterpoop, but maybe .5 inches lower. Let me know what you think about about his tap location.

Been driving her for the last 3 days, everything seems fine. Bleeding the coolant system was ridiculously long, probably 2x2hrs session, most likely because of the added turbo coolant lines.

I ditched the 45 degree 10an aluminum fitting for a 90 degree fitting from home depot, I was worried the axle might rub against it or worse. I really think the best spot for the drain hole is where "kou" drilled his.

I had to trim/shave off some aluminum off the compressor housing as I couldn't screw in the o2 sensor. The sensor's wires are rubbing against the compressor, I hope it'll be ok.

The .32" spark plugs and 1zz injectors are great for this. Been doing some live data records and I've seen around 12 afr @33k rpm. I'm scared to go past 4k until I can add more fuel.

Will do a proper write up and total budget whenever I have more time on my hands, I wish we were on a 36hrs planet, never enough time here, lol.
