haha no worrys I just bought a turbo manifold and turbo of a nisssn cd20 and ground the manifold flange a bit to make it fit, a bit of pipeing for intake a oil feed from a tee from the oil pump behind the alternator and a dump into the sump and your good to go..

really want a diesel one for the road hows your radiator set up cos my adapter pushes the engine foward a bit.

can try get a few turbo pics up for ya.
