Hi Todd. What was the logic behind the choice to go with an electric water pump.
Was it concerns over cavitation at high rpm or as a backup.
Sorry if this has already been talked through.

You could either modify the turbo manifold or use it to model a custom made manifold. Either way would likely be easier than trying to fit an aftermarket turbo. There was not a stock Renesis turbo so you're not gonna find anything easier.
