Yes, goin to pick up the donor for that next Friday. In the mean time hopefully my turbo shows up so we can start mapping out how the manifolds will be set up

Oh ok. The Borg Warner turbos are really good turbos. It should perform well for you.

Theres also ways to setup a newer VGT turbocharger without a computer, that could potentially work good for a project like this.

Vgts are really cool and decent turbos but unless he got an upgraded one it wouldn't have as much performance potential as the S366. The compressor or the S366 is quite a bit bigger than the Vgt. I do love the idea of putting a Vgt on an Idi though...
