It shouldn't be an issue... If Chris wanted to do a blow-through MAF for my car I would give you my adapter plate but he dosn't weld aluminum.

Why is it so hard to weld aluminum? Even my mechanic had to send my manifold to a special weld shop to have that crack fixed.

Takes very expensive machinery to weld aluminum... Also it takes experience. Anybody could just weld the sh* and call it a day, but wouldn't you rather it be done right?

yeppers....it takes a better machine than i got, its more expensive for that equipment, it takes experiance cause you cant hardly see the molten puddle when welding.

Yeah man. a very long road indeed. Everythings running ok so far. Have a little clearance issue with my exhaust system but other than that everthing somewhat went ok. Had to use 3 diff pipes to get this thing to fit properly though. lol

Pics will be posted up shortly

PICS!!!! Install started at 10am and finished at 3am.... Yes 3am

Just a little before picture

Tools that made this all possible

Doing a little test fitting

3" downpipe doesn't fit

Mishimoto sexiness (Passenger side is a little lower than the right thanks to TT piping)

LOL!!! I love this pic. My 3 diff color piping (This for some reason fits better than any other TT piping i've installed. Had to cut a few inches off some pipes but now it fits perfectly)

Michael Jackson status

Will be posting of pics of my exhaust issue in a sec
