Awww, not once did Al call it Dirt Squirting :P But the real MVP here is Woody. After a day of ripping it up on the bike, he comes home tired and edits this up for us. Thanks mate

[@aae42]

i love how Al knows all of the cheapest ways of doing things, yet he doesn't cut any corners. It's the cheapest most reasonable way to do the job correctly.

[@LobbyDaLobster]

I like Kramer peaking through the bonnet hole. His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.

[@RussZHC]

If you decide to do another "workshop" series, I for one wouldn't mind a more in-depth about those exhaust manifolds. Thanks.

[@Etho_7]

My mate actually made this intercooler, cool to see it being used in this build.

[@theskidfactory]

Tell him I'm sorry for putting shit welds over his artwork.

[@Bbeavis]

Music in the start of this episode was so much better than in past episodes. Well done fellas.

[@OG-nl8so]

The knowledge and the thought process that oozes out of Turbo Yoda is amazing

[@joorsh]

Don't think we don't notice those production values! You're sneakily getting a bit pro on us there. Seeing some very smooth and slick camera shots and lighting, well done boys.

[@someyoungguy6990]

Not that i would ever bag out your fab skills guys, but the fella who done the CAD work on the headers should be on the payroll! They look like professionally made units, and if you had of said they came from Goleby's i don't think anyone would have given a second thought given just how good they look. Great work mate !!

mirrored turbos, can't say it enough, they look bloody great. P.S. more trolling from Dave please.

WOW! That is one damn cool designed manifold!

[@ActivityPhoto]

Indeed and piece of art I'd say!

Thanks for the mention Al 😁🤙

When are we going to see more of Woody and Al on MVDBR

Those manifolds look amazing!

I have a WM Statesman. In the U.S., they're called "Chevrolet Caprice". But I know what time it is lol shout out to turbo V8's. I plan on boosting my "Caprice" engine designation L77. Cheers! From Dallas, Texas.

Those symmetrical turbos look mint 👌

This channel just keeps getting better and better. Well done guys. Thanks for the highlight of my week

[@andrewrigg4905]

Those manifolds look fantastic. Credit to the bloke that made them . Great work from Al and Woody as per usual , loving this build.

[@SloppyMechanics]

AL wrenching by himself is very therapeutic to me

[@JimPropert]

Not hard to tell someone has used tools for a very long time.

[@michieldamen]

You guys are an absolute bunch of legends. Love your work and love the camio on project binky !!!! Awesome to see that after your busy days you still have time left to watch each other's shows.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Nice plug on the MVDBR stuff! Man those turbos look so tough sitting there!

[@danieltjr5649]

Don't know what to say got goosebumps all over when i saw the manifold match the cathedrals i know it's only metal but i think i'm in love with the engine!! ☺☺☺ keep up the great work guys catchya in the next episode!!

[@lukeprowse3215]

Love the content. Top work as usual.

Loving the Hagerty theme build music👌

[@danielcasey6146]

The amount of awesome fab work and amount of time put into these builds is incredible guys keep up the good work !

[@prestonparker437]

I like the bar you added across the bottom of the core support it looks a lot beefier then the deal you cut out!

Only brilliant patrols flex chassis like sick giraffes, depends all on what state body mounts are in, love the content lads

Love your work guys.

[@RivalGamingRvlG]

Ive been having trouble with clearance with my radiator and intercooler on my project but couldnt find a way of making it strong but neat aswell, and now watching this episode and seeing how the lower bar was made i think my problem is solved 👌 thanks guys, love the content and love how things are explained!!

[@maijhiselemani458]

Amazing work... and enlightening too...

[@WickedTRX]

The bonnet has a hole for the engine hoist! Perfect!

[@pheaktranuon8740]

Woody's b-rolls are getting alot better! Great job

[@Aspire198]

those manifolds are sick

[@iswinkels]

Chris. Not a professional fabricator. WOW. Nice work!

That manifold is absolutely insane. Chris is an absolute wizard.

Love the Binky cameo! 👍

Drier than a nuns here in WA. Looking forward to some traction on the dirt squirts! Have some fun out there 👌

What do you call 'em?

Amazing soundtrack this episode

Watching again, those exhaust manifolds are wild.

I melted 3 hole saws on the same cut for an o2 sensor bund at work yesterday

[@ijunejo]

Totally sick fab..

[@chefcamsey1375]

I haven't melted any of my own holesaws. I have melted alot of my mates though haha 😂

Giggling like a school girl... well played david 😂

[@sireuchre]

Al trolled us with the thumbnail showing the turbos mounted, and then doesn't show that happening. It's trolls all the way down!

[@primycha]

@@sireuchre Didnt you watch the video? It clearly shows the turbos mounted :P

[@sireuchre]

@@primycha I scrolled back through and I must've sneezed for the literal 2 seconds of video where he shows it. 20 minutes of video for 2 seconds of the thumbnail of action - that's still a hell of a tease.

Melted my first holesaw in 2004 fitting a cheap (by standards of the day) and nasty (by any standards) FMIC kit to my R32 GTS-T.

LS goodness :D

hi that is very nice work

[@tomhudson1409]

Those BMW radiators must be good, Al uses them for everything! Looks like a versatile bit of kit, if you know how to mount it. Another awesome video, cheers guys some good engineering topics, like the body flex and rubber mounted components.

[@yourawesome7127]

Awesome

[@jezz4khd785]

Apparently Sheryl has had plenty of hole sores... 👌👌

[@sireuchre]

We're gonna need some sauce on that.

[@nzsmidey]

there is massive twist in car chassis, I jammed my fingers in between the door and jamb when the door was shut once. lowered evo1, driving on an angle into a steep driveway and the door gap opened up while i had my fingers touching the door rubbers. when the gap opened up my digits slipped in and then the car got all fours on the same plain and closed the gap.

[@Normansgarage]

You guys should run the barra mustang at Haltech World cup Finals True Street class 2020! It's an event like no other, put on by one of your supporters!!

[@watsisbuttndo829]

"My mate made these manifolds, hes not a professional". Errrr.. depends on your interpretation of professional i suppose. I would be more than happy to have paid money for those.

[@mattnoyes7729]

137, which coincidentally is the same number of holes I've drilled

[@mobiusclean6440]

I set my 240 volt drill on fire trying to hole saw out several 75mm hole into 13mm aluminium making supercharger flanges I've never smelt something so toxic than that drill motor on fire. Still got the job done and I invested in a good drill press.

Re-using hole saws? Interesting concept...

[@mxboardguitarsnake5]

I like the new music

[@blacksupra10]

not a professional fabricator, ahhh looks pretty pro to me!

[@SebastianOutzen]

You should do an episode where you take us through the process of making those headers. And if possible, do a dyno run with old and new headers, just to compare if it makes more power or not.

[@notold37]

Great video guys and to answer Woody's questions, shit loads of melted hole saws, I'm a sheetmetal worker by trade and yeah I've killed my share of hole saws 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@davidfraser6346]

notold37 holesaw gang 🤘

[@richardwhite5065]

Just a thought for a techalk thing, mainfolds vs headers vs tuned extractors on turbo builds...

[@davidfraser6346]

Logs for life!

[@travellingsoldier5018]

May have already been pointed out but................Instructions with quality holesaws (Millers Falls or Stanley perhaps) say maximum speed not more than 50 feet per sec. straight line cutting speed. Slower the better so long as you are getting swarf. If you stick to something under that (50fps) keep them cool & use recommended cutting fluid they will give good service.

[@theskidfactory]

The 4" holesaw we replaced is about 5 years old.

[@willm5032]

Just noticed the view through the bonnet at 6:27

[@damienwalker1026]

Don't we all love a good gusset.

[@yar0nix224]

you guys have any footage of adding material to the head to tap for the new stud?

[@FMuscleZ28]

My boss provides wood hole saws to drill through sheet metal. Plenty of "cheaper" hole saw melted. A good metal one could last a year, these last 3 weeks. At one hole per week average...

[@OvertakingLane]

Just a camera guy 😉

Al is the only one in the world that likes that BMW went from NA to turbo....
