Well that's the cat out the bag then Mat 
Thanks for the name check
the pleasure was all mine, it was good to spend the day with you and shake off a few cobwebs to remind me of how much easier my life now is.
I'm sure it will be a beast when finished.

Interesting build and great to hear Ian (sk93) is still in the z world!
But I would lie to say thanks to a few people who have really helped so far.
My mate Chris
Stuartt who wired in the piggy back and did such an amazing neat job. And without your help I would not have been as relaxed as I am now about the project.
SK93 he will be providing much more help.
Mac and Cj who have helped out on a few technical questions.

)Thanks guys for the support. And also the questions and doubts. There are lots of unknowns and the purpose of this thread is to get the project out there. Some understanding. Then if I/when I have a problem I can use the forums collective brain to get help.
Stuart seriously mate I couldn’t have got it this far without your help.

Your right Greeg thanks buddy

Not sure about that, turbo's depend on exhaust gas velocity & not temperature to create boost pressure-the only issue I can think of is the convoluted route/length of pipe back to the inlet side of the engine, as the more joins=more potential for leaks?
I'm sure mat will overcome though
Is it plumbed into the engines oil/coolant supply for cooling and lubrication?
Rob
Yeah your right the route back to the engine is a massive sacrifice. But there was no way of running it back to the car unless it was right next to the exhaust. I will have cooler charge temperatures so i am using a restively small intercooler. Lots of care has been taken to avoid any leaks. Had nothing this far.
There is another way, up into the cabin & along the center console & through the firewall to the engine bay
you might even hear the boost building! (use some clear pipe & see the boost as well)
Rob
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!
Thinking outside the box and using your skills. That's what hobbies are all about. Best of luck to you and stick my name on the list for prototype number 2!

Not saying it would be a reason not to do what you're doing, just interested to read how you originally phrased it as 'no reason not to'. In actual fact there is but you've already thought about it.Machine monkey said:Steve84N said:
And here we have it.. The question i was expecting
Steve your right turbo lag is a problem. But turbo lag is a problem for well every turbo car. There are some very clever things you can do to eliminate it but they tend to be quite involved and i may employ some of them later.
