Looking good! Remind me what engine management you are using? Love the metal cold air duct. Since you are doing your own welding, have you considered adding boost braces to the pipes/intercooler? That was one of the best things I ever did.... A new coolant tank would look nice in there too.

Second that Tom, boost braces are a great add on.

Currently i can’t justify the $600 for a coolant tank just for looks, but I agree, eventually it will be replaced. I’m currently running a m-tune with logger and tuner. The car also has water/meth injection that I’ll be tuning this year. I haven’t needed the boost braces and I’ve run 25psi. Just get some nice T-bolt clamps and a good bead on the pipe

Summit makes a great tool, to roll a good bead into the pipes

Nice pipes and that bead looks strong. I have experienced a few blown pressure pipes and all of them has occured on the track. Alot of heat in the enginebay together with alot of on/off throttle and side to side movements on the engine is what makes the pipes blow off.
In a Street application with shorter bursts it is most likely not needed.

Hey, they are "only" $442.97 at Delaware Porsche. Might as well get two

Those are two highly representative pictures of the 951 -- one at speed on the road, and the other in the garage with a stick holding up the hood. By the way, move that linked build thread over here! This is where all the cool kids are now, and we'll appreciate it more I promise.

I need the part number on that stick! We have all done that. I use it on the hatch now.
