Busy weekend, Twins are in...finally

Well, after over a year of looking at the chargers I finally got around to plumbing everything in this weekend with the help of my brother. All the hard work is done and now its just a mater of doing some paint work but thats all good. Here are a few pics of what I did.

My brother works as a metal fabricator and he was able to make us both a set of a really cool transition piece for plumbing the 4" shedual 40 to the flange on the large turbo. He actually did it in the brake press with a bunch of different tiny bends. In less than 3" it goes from a 4" round circle to the size of the turbo flange of 3"x1/3/4". I was pretty impressed with how it turned out. I then just welded studs right to it so its easy to drop the gasket on and then drop the turbo on and bolt it all down.
