Re: Better turbo design
Now on to the mounting flange for the turbo to the intake. A good friend of mine, Jerry Berger SR offered to do the work for me and he did a beautiful job. The first pic is of the differences between the stock turbo foot and the larger inducer foot. This has to be corrected by either moving the holes in the intake or on the turbo's foot. It is much easier to move them on the turbo so that's what I had Jerry do. You can see the steps that must be taken to do the work. It does take a machinist to do this as well as a very good welder.
One other thing I asked Jerry to do is open up the throat of the inducer to match the outlet of the plenum. He did this on a lathe and beveled it so that it would be a smoother transition for the air fuel mixture.
