3 There is no reason not to do it.

Erm, more turbo lag...

It will also be less efficient being so far away from the lovely hot air coming out of the engine but more power is more power and the advantages stack up here.

Good luck, seems like you're more of the way there than Johnny ever was.

And here we have it.. The question i was expecting

Steve your right turbo lag is a problem. But turbo lag is a problem for well every turbo car. There are some very clever things you can do to eliminate it but they tend to be quite involved and i may employ some of them later.

Not saying it would be a reason not to do what you're doing, just interested to read how you originally phrased it as 'no reason not to'. In actual fact there is but you've already thought about it.

Wow! Was there no room under the car to run the charge pipes?

[Machine monkey]

So the tank fits behind the rear wheel arch. With the return pump below it under the car next to the turbo. The feed and other stuff is tucked away in the boot.

Well, that makes a change from the latest fashion of roof motors re-sited to the boot!
I take it the pump will be monitored for function/oil level/temperature back in the cabin?
Rob

Yes boost oil temprature and presure will have gauges in the cabin.

Not away from the hot exhaust no.
The seat fits in exactly as it should. It might just be the hot seat!! I dont have seat heaters so might be handy in the winter.

wow - this is impressive work
