@se200 its a vibrant scavenge fitting with venturi built into the fitting
Vibrant Performance ::.

Its a science experiment of sorts for a car we've been building in the shop since the beginning of the year.
There is alot of r&d time in this car, and if you look carefully you will see something totally out of the ordinary that no one has done in the past. The fab work was shared between Damian @ TM-SPL, John @ Alloy Fab, and myself.

A little exhaust work. Added some resonators for a friend of mines.
I have a new found love for these cars.

Decided to give making a dimple brace for my rear strut. Really feels solid with just the front piece welded on, i will place another sheet on the other side but i have to remove the tar mat. took a while to weld since i had to stich weld it(didn't figure this out until i was half way done). but you can see on the right side was stich weld and came out decent.

HTP 221 AC pulse 75-110A 18cfh Ar 1/16 2%Zirc Tungsten
Made pedestal stand for surge tank, ran lines and made brackets hidden from view so it looks like its floating.


Started on some piping work, ran out of gas after teaching a few friends how to weld.
Able to tack a few pieces together before bottle was legit empty.

Heres a GTI-R mani I just finished modifying for a Tial MVS



Good angle for exh flow



Equal flow from all 4 runners



Ported for smooth transition



Welded pretty good for being cast



Exh outlet nice and clear



Tucked up nice and close to turbo for plenty of room in front
