Dave where did you find that rubber elbow
 for the turbo charger out put? Is that a stock
 Mazda part? I need something real low profile
 as the KIS cowl top is much lower than most
 airplanes.

 Turbo OUT is aluminum tubing with very short sections of 2 1/2(?) hose.

 You mean that big 4" 45degree INLET?

      Baker is pretty expensive.

      Paul Lamar

 Yes Paul, the black rubber bits in my installation are stock.  They

 happened to come with the core that I bought and are holding up nicely.

Paul,

Could the compressor housing be rotated towards the other intake tubes? This
might give clearance to use an aluminium 90 and a straight piece of turbo hose.

Dale Davies

Yes! You can clock the compressor anywhere you want it.

I just could not come up with a better position than stock.

If you tilted it in at the top then you would need a 90 at the fire wall.
You might save an inch of height doing it that way. The slide throttle
penetrates the firewall so you must get back to that. I'll add that
to the 3D dwgs one of these days.
