in the last part where you enlarged the outlet on the turbo foot, how much did you have to remove to have the connection smooth? would it be possible to enlarge the inake hole on the intake manifold?

Take a look on the other board for "finally got some time" and "All turbos are not created equal". This will give you a better idea of the turbo and the car overall. There's lots of mods that you can add to the 78 but the low port heads will not work as well as the 79 up high port heads.
The plenum can be enlarged to improve flow and the inlet of the turbo is enlarged to the same size so it removes some restriction.
As far as the foot, all I did was move the mounting feet to make it mount up to the intake. The rest of that area isn't enlarge at all.
