Here's what the elves have been up to tonight. I look at the picture and think "Well that doesn't look like it was too much work." Well maybe not for a lot of folks, but it was for this guy. After about 3 weeks of chin scratching I decided on my plan of attack. Last Saturday I made the flanges and shopped for all the hardware. Tonight I did the rest. The intake side of the turbo peeks though a hole I punched in the rear cooling tin. I wanted to keep the exhaust side completely out of the engine bay. Tomorrow I'll finish it up and let you know how it runs. Not expecting earth-shaking performance - the math says 20-28hp if I did everything right. That'll put me between 100-108 hp. Don't sound like much, but that's as much as a 35% increase over the current anemic 80 hp.
