BMW E46 Budget Turbo Build [Part 2]

We're continuing the budget turbo swap in my BMW E46, aka the Basket Case BMW. In Part 1, we installed the exhaust manifold and motor mount, and bolted in the turbo. In this episode, we're going to setup the wastegate, and build the exhaust downpipe.

Man it’s always wild to see someone just mock stuff up and make new pieces to make stuff for

Damn, I need to turn off notifications for a lot of crap so I don't miss the stuff I actually watch! But, which is this? Just kidding man, you know I'm regular, haha

You should link the products that you use. I’m gonna be ordering stuff for my DP soon. Good news I can try to booger weld the stainless with regular flux core
