Keep at it. Don't listen to these guys. Your setup is going to really surprise the heck out of yourself. And you will be up and running pretty soon by the looks of it.
BS... its gonna cause him all sorts of issues with
that pipe Ting into the other... to the OP.. Y it in
so you dont crash the exhaust into one another..
and doing it that way can cause a back pressure that
sure isnt needed..... I just dont want him to get
all pissed off later when things dont work right

Got a piece of flex at the bottom joining the 2 . Yes it's a budget job, when i'm done and have some extra cash to pay for it i'll take the already clamped together junk in and they can use it for a pattern. You guys talked me into blowthrough now i'm looking at $350 for a pump and $160 for a regulator and so on that i didn't have in the budget. Sorry if the parts don't meet your taste. Shoulda known better than to even come in here. Have a nice life i'm out of here goodbye Moparts.
I'm just trying to help you out... I've done this stuff
before plus I did it for a living at Chrysler... I'm
not trying to rain on you but if you do it that way
you will be doing it again the right way.. and it
could cost a lot more than a few pipes

Way to run a guy off!
Shove the Constructive Critisism !
The guy was making progress and it would have worked fine.
Just because yall are to good to hack something together to experiment does not give y'all the right to discourage a fellow hot rod'er. If you don't like it set back and keep your thoughts to your self.
PISS OFF... you know DAMN WELL I was trying to help him
and save him money from doing it again

Always more cost effective to do it correctly the first time, plus how discouraged would this guy be if he got it all together after all those hours spent fabbing stuff only to find out it didn't work worth a crap??

Nobody is born "all knowing." People learn by doing - and either learn from their own mistakes or mistakes made by others. It's FAR easier to learn from other's mistakes. It doesn't cost time or money. Unfortunately this previously learned knowledge from learning from other's mistakes does come with a price. Nobody likes criticism, constructive or otherwise. The price is swallowing your pride enough to understand what and why they are saying what they say to help you. If you don't want to "pay" that price - you are ALWAYS free to learn from your own mistakes like most of us have before the internet became such a good tool for disseminating information. We all learned the hard way. We are certainly willing to help people learn the easier way - but we may not all be the best "teachers." We put things in terms that we understand and I guess we don't sugarcoat it as much as some would like. We're sorry we're so gruff and to the point. After all, we're gear heads, not teachers. We're here to try and help - even IF it doesn't seem like it to you right now. You're headed in the right direction. Grow thicker skin and soak up the knowledge that's trying to be passed to you…. even if it's not worded as nicely as you would like. The price really isn't that high.

Moparts is by far the most conservative forum I have seen. I too needed a break from the purple shaft crowd a few years back, but I came back after a while...haha
I see the OP is in MI, the kicker is, I am sure alot of local folks would be willing to spend an evening in the shop with him and go over some ideas (depending on how close he is). I have not built myself a turbo car (yet), but I am helping a buddy with a 5.3/GT45 combo in a fox body, and I do this stuff every day for a living.
As far as the $350 pump...a Walbro 255 is $90, unfortunately all of the regulators are pricey...check forums for used parts...
I dont know where in Mich he is but if he is any where
near me he can stop by for info OR I'll help him build
it... I've done plenty of that fab stuff... and I
probably got enough tubing to do it
