1500HP Twin Turbo Coyote Mustang Build: My Second Turbo Kit EVER! (From The Archives)

What happens here

The existing On3 exhaust manifolds are modified to work with the new twin-turbo setup. This involves using a DeWalt chop saw to cut off specific sections of the manifolds. After cutting, the edges are meticulously ground flat using a bench grinder to ensure a perfectly smooth and flush surface for welding, which is crucial for achieving strong seals when working with stainless steel. A 'rock test' is performed on a flat surface to verify the flatness of the ground edges, indicating that the surfaces are square and ready for welding.

Goal: Adapt existing manifolds to the new turbo configuration.

put them back in the car and i'll build the turbos in from there so it's coming to my attention that i need to wear these absolutely why do i have to wear these these glasses your brother's ex-girlfriend's sister her brother lost an eye for that oh yeah so just to spare all the comments just wear your glasses bro i'm just gonna you know here they are they're beautiful wow look at that nothing gets through safe as heck trying to line this up so i can cut it straight which is not as easy as it sounds there's no good way to clamp this wait for somebody to be like there's no good way to do that i know it's not the right way but it's gonna work still see with two eyes i'm gonna come over here and uh clean up all that crap on there you ever heard of the rock test no rock test is well whatever you cut that not so much when you use that because it usually cuts pretty flat but if you use a freehand bandsaw it won't be perfectly flat so you got to come on here and square it up to make sure it's all good because you can't have any gaps and you will stainless put on something you know is flat and if it rocks it's not square and this appears to be pretty dang good and also as a bonus whenever you square it up like that you
