Kevin,

 This is Mike Hart's turbo installation in his Kis Cruiser.
 The top of the cowl is even lower than that of your Wheeler so
 it was necessary to put a "power bulge" on the top of the Kis
 cowl.

 The inter-cooling plumbing is unique in that one header tank on the inter-cooler does double duty and is used as an intake manifold plenum.

 The traditional way of doing it was is use two header tanks on the inter-cooler and two transitions to round pipe. Then another transition to the intake plenum.

 Each transition implies a pressure loss so this system is more efficient. Less back pressure for the same net boost.

 You will need a ram air scoop on the top of the cowl to feed cooling
 air to the inter-cooler.

Paul,
Is this the KIS that you were working on?

Where is it now?

Yes. Somewhere in Oklahoma I think. Michel Hart owns it now.
I sold it when Mike Will's RV4 became available.

I am real proud of the trick combo nose gear and rear motor mount bracket:) The load path from the nose gear goes directly into the rear of the engine.
