i see. i wouls like to too. im going to see if i can get a hold of him through soem people as hes in my area. as i hve the same setup running on 6psi an my buddy is in the middle of building a 7psi on his. his is all stock engine. my engine is all done out for racing.

the hardest part is getting your carb to assept the new amount of air an gettign the vaclines hooked right.

this is the exact setup i want to do on my rex u say your running 13 psi on a stock bottom end that awsome ive heard these ews wouldn't take much more then 7psi do think the canadian winter would screw with the carb royal it would be a summer car only wouldn't but ya some detailed things about how u set this up would be awsome if u send emails could u hook me up with some of the proedures and stuff for this cause not many people around here have a turbo not to mention an 87 carburated turbo tongue.gif

WOW, that looks so simple! That would work perfectly on my 4 door, I wouldn't have to swap anything in the engine bay. Now I have to look for turbos...

great work!
