Welds looking good man, one tip that might help you out with small fitment adjustments like leveling out that turbo, especially with stainless as it heat warps a lot, tac everything nicely, and then weld the side you want it to lean towards first. In your case welding alll the windshield side of the piping first may pull it back enough to level it! Bog deep!
