Is that how those are supposed to be, or do they just need miles to break in?

The turbos were tightly packed with grease from Comp. I could barely spin the shaft with hand when it was off the car. However after about 100 miles or so the grease will spread out and the shaft will spin effortless. I have seen a video documenting at 100 miles the turbo continues to spin for 10 seconds after shut off, and after 500 miles it spun for 25s. I will have to do a quick regrease every 4000-5000 miles or so. Their special high speed grease is expensive as hell though.

Rewelded the Y pipe. Transition is much smoother and welds are fairly decent looking. Also deleted resonators.

Here's a sound clip I recorded. I had to hear how it sounds from the outside.

I had some spare aluminum bars laying around so I added two braces for the front bumper since I'm not running any undertray. This added significant rigidity to the bumper.
