Thanks again Paul; this is 40 pounds over our estimates , which
were probably grabbed from a warm dark place. Fritz

I am being a bit conservative. You might get it in well under 400
pounds by being careful.

I don't think you are being conservative.   I have been careful about
the weight, and my firewall 'back' weight, 20B normally aspirated, is at
414 lbs.  This includes 16 lbs for coolant; but does not include the
prop.  I'd guess turbo and inter-cooler will be 30-40 lbs.
