    Are you putting heat shields on the pipe under the fan motor??
    I'm curious to see how you manage the exhaust out of the turbo??:hmmm:
    I'm sure you'll figure it out though. You make me feel lazy.:yup:

    Just put on a 90 degree bend and send the exhaust straight up. That way you got zero back pressure after the turbo... I know I'm being stupid sorry... that would sound pretty wicked just to test drive it.
