Thought I would mock up the 3.5" downpipe first before I figger where the wastegate is going to go.

I'm waiting on a 3.5" vband flange set which should be with me in the week so I can finish the downpipe when I have that

On the second runner I'm going to come in from the otherside and bring them both togeather

Last nights work :)

Sorted both wastegate runners into a merge and the watsegate placement for feed back into the bottom of the downpipe.

I couldn't find the vband to match the hotside so I rewelded a 3.5" one in place
