Good picture of Richard Sohns 2 cycle oil supply for the apex
seal oil metering pump. That looks like a 12A oil metering pump
but I could be wrong. Are there only two oil tubes coming out
of the pump?

-yes, Bruce reworked the injector pmp for two outlets, we had to promise to use premix for first 100 hrs, out thoughts are to use premix all the time and if possible to use injector pump for those
dummies that think that we might have disabled our lubrication system.
-we cobbled up the remains of the original water pump, we will drill trhough te welded on plate and put a plate on the front of that with an inlet and outlet on it, much simpler than machining a
inlet/outlet plate just to fit the 13B.

-I have seen better TO4 manifolds from HKS I think for different year or something, other one offsets the turbo more to firewall side of engine. This one will do but leaves less room to redirect
turbo and wastegate exaust before prop, I want to get it under the engine for a vertical slot exit in the fishtail portion of the cowling. Anybody have the other version of the manifold and wants to
swap. let me know. Turbonetics TO4e-50/P/1.3 water cooled ceramic BB's on its way ...whoopie!

Have looked high and low, Turbo Tom agreed with me that a fully manual ie, via mechanical linkage wastegate was the way we wanted to go, similar to manual system on aircraft would be. Automotive
wastegates are basically like a single valve version of a combustion chamber, would not be surprized if they use auto exaust valves and guides. Cobbling up one to make it manual via a bowden cable
seems Rube Goldburgish. I have been looking at aircraft wastegates online and they are nearly perfect, a straight through tube with a butterfly and two flanges. Lubricate every 50 hrs with mousemilk
lube. Remove the servo and hook up a cable. The big question is how to even find what size to start a search, our manifold wastegate flange has a 1.85" diameter hole.
