Henry NeeThanks Henry, I will see if that changes anything. Right now I am
trying to build the intake, which
isnt that difficult. Keeping it under the cowling, a bit harder.
So goes progress!

I have a cash sale on slide throttle kits.
$150
Paul Lamar
-I think this slide throttle will interfere with my turbo. My p port inserts
stick out 2.25 inches from the rotor housings, and they are so close to my
turbo I am having trouble getting the 180 degree bends to fit. I am
adjusting the adapter for the turbo to turn it around backwards- i.e.
cool side toward the front. This would simplify the exhaust routing.
I have a turbo throttle body that I modified (only left the butterflies)
that I might use, or I may go the route Tracy used and get the large single
large butterfly. If I go 1/2 inch larger than the turbo inlet and keep this
size until just before the turbo, I think it will fit. Maybe.

Forgot about the turbo.
You have plenty of room to use an exhaust spacer and move the turbo outboard.
Paul Lamar
I am using a spacer that moves it outward and up about 2 inches above the
stock manifold. This gets the oil drain up enough to get the oil back to
the oil pan. When you were here you noted that my housings were not
originally from a turbo, and the front left turbo oil hole is not drilled.
I am making a block to relocate the oil filter, and was going to pull oil
for the turbo and the PSRU from the clean side of the filter. Do you see
any problems with this? I really dont want to drill the oil journal out
with the motor assembled due to the risk of getting filings down inside the
engine, and I really really dont want to take it back apart either.
Kevin Alderman
Sounds good but make sure there are two independent lines.
One for the gear box and one for the turbo. No tees.
At Reno we rigged an oil pressure gage tap at the gear box to be sure
the plain journal bearing was getting enough oil pressure.
