You should try changing your thread count to 50 per page, it makes for an easier read. Rerouting oil, exhaust, modifying a simple intake and attaching a boost controller is not rocket science. I would bet the total cost of the project is around $400 or less, and that includes a spare manifold and oil tubing set. FI has already done a lot of the exploratory work on his own, thus paving the path for those of us who would like to apply some basic technology. Compared to any of the other options this would appear to be the least cost, with the greatest amount of potential. There is no reason we should be restricted to a turbo that is of WW2 vintage. The first VNT was released in 89, it is not like I am trying to add an ECU from a 2000+ mb.
