Got it. Thanks. I was having trouble connecting the dots.

Clutch setup arrived, probably not going to use twin mass flywheel :o
Now that I also got silicone hoses I continued welding, first mounted a throttle body:
Then the other side, that's the only place where I was able to mount blow off valve:
Some coolant pipes and new mounts for the power steering pump:

I had some struggle machining the oil pump back plate manually, I did two versions which didn't turn out too good. I also tried a shortcut welding a sleeve into the orginal cast cover.. Because of the high Mg content welds won't hold even if they would look good, here's the result of light hammering, crispy:
It was time to start over, I did some changes to model and discarded the idea of a water jet cut blank because of it's ridiculous price. I happened to find a company which would machine the part for me very cheap with their 5-axis machine. I just confirmed it fits by 3D printing a mockup:
The final part (made of AW-7075) should arrive in three weeks :)

What kind of scanner are you using? A 3d printer is an amazing tool to have access too and has saved my hind end on many occasions.

I only needed bolt pattern and outlines then used the scanned picture as a base of the sketch :) I haven't yet acquired a 3D scanner, that's something I have to study later..
Thanks for the compliments!

...Not again
Reason? I managed to change the engine position after modifying steering rack mounts, so when I renewed engine mounts I positioned it as low as possible and even further back. Besides the welds looked terrible now that I've learned to TIG somehow Upcoming version will be looking quite different.
Now that I got the taste of cutting I cut the comp housing outlet too:
To change it to this:
Few Finnish fellows were inquiring M20/M30 cam sensor covers from us as we had made some 3D printed prototypes earlier (in co-operation with Juuso's Garage), these anodized aluminum versions are about to arrive soon:

Damn. Is there anything on this car that's not custom? Awesome build :)

One more aluminum tank.. Fuel surge tank that has been in progress for a loong time. It needed a baffle inside, end cap and AN fittings for fuel in and out, unfortunately AN6 fittings were out of stock at the local store so I wasn't able to completely finish it Underneath my FPR with AN10 in/outlets:
Finally got this part I've been waiting for, shiny aluminum bit from Italy:
