Here are some pics I have of a turbo brace I had laser cut I mocked up a jig for the size and shape I needed had a mechanical drawing made of it and imported it into a CAD file. [![http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/8861/mechdrawingth2.th.jpg](http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/8861/mechdrawingth2.th.jpg)](http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mechdrawingth2.jpg) had two laser cut out of 1/4" stainless steel.

Here’s some pics of it on the car.

Ricer! Nice part, it reminds me of the little CNCed FPR bracket I got for the FD. Tiny details, but it’s things like that which should set the car apart. ![http://www.brentstrong.com/gallery/d/820-1/_DSC9927+1.jpg](http://www.brentstrong.com/gallery/d/820-1/_DSC9927+_1_.jpg) ---
