Very interesting.  You can tell this homebrew- he put the turbo after
the muffler.  Wow.
Turbo relies on exhaust energy for quick spool-up.  First rule of thumb
is mount turbo as close as possible to exhaust ports.  This setup is the
equivalent of mounting a turbo to the tailpipe of your car: BIG TIME
turbo LAG.
He says can run 9 lbs boost on the stock FI setup with 02 enrichment,
but he doesn't explain how.

Bottom line, he wants $475 for a used turbo and some welded pipes that
won't work very well.

While wasting time on ePay, I found what looks to be a fairly easy way

No intercooler, though. At least you could pass the seller's Greyhound
bus!

I have no connection whatsoever in this auction nor with the seller.
And no interest in the Turbo, either, so Go 4 It!!
