    Chrissi,
      Can you get the specifications on Greg's TO4 Turbo
for the group?
      (1)Compressor trim
      (2)Turbine trim
      (3)Housing Area/Radius (A/R) ratio
      (4)Inconel turbine?
      (5)Water cooled?
      (6)Ni-Resist exhaust housing?
      (7)Any other feature of interest

      Thanks
      Kelly Troyer

     P.S.- Paul was there enough interest in the turbo
           exhaust manifold by "Japproformance" to get
           an order up?

I am waiting to hear back from Chrissi on the order.
As it is now it is set up for the 89-91 stock turbo.
For a TO4 version we will have to order ten and send him
a gasket.

OOp,s, oh hi, I was falling asleep in the back of the classroom again.
Actually, I am sort of out of touch while at the office and skip a lot of mail.
Coincidentally I brought in my turbo books to discuss this subject with Greg. We have decided that
the best route for the next gen of turbos may be to use stainless "weld-el's" and try to put the
turbo down the c/l under the pan and go the augmented exhaust route. If it were not for other
issues, this would have been a good reason to go with "plugs up".
Anyway, not remotely interested in a heavy cast iron manifold, I already have an HKS and will
probably part with it in favor of a lighter stainless one. Chrissi,

Be very very careful Chrissis. There is a very good reason turbo's are mounted
high. Oil drain back out of the turbo is critical and difficult to achieve. You have 
a single point of failure if you use an electric scavenge pump.
