Good progress. Pretty tight bend coming out of the turbo. Restrictive? Understand it's a packaging issue. Those valve covers are beautiful! Need to hang them on the wall so you can look at them all the time!
How fast on spare parts? 83 GP build

I wonder about that too, we'll all find out about the same time I guess. This isn't really a max effort build anyway, and if the same short turn principles apply to exhaust as head porting it has a chance. Those vc's are $78 eBay cheapies, but they seem to be well built, and I do love looking at them.
Here's a pic of the inside of the exhaust outlet, I tried to keep the transition as smooth as I could, and if it don't work right, I know how to cut and weld.
Got the turbo to intercooler pipe built and the blow off valve on, waiting on my new Extreme Velocity carb hat before I do the other half. I hate ebay sellers that sell parts they don't have in stock.
I wasn't happy with the last version of the outlet for the exhaust, so I tried again with 4". Much happier with this one. I also got the exhaust made from a mix of new and used bends, 4" all the way to the trans crossmember where it turns down and out toward the passenger side.
Had a hydraulic hose made for the oil feed for the turbo. I'm considering having all the fuel lines made from hydraulic hose this time as I figure it'll be about the same price as AN fitting and braided stainless, and much easier on my fingers to boot.
