Hi All
 I've been lurking in the back ground for a few months now, and I must congratulate you all. Its good to see so many like minded people sharing experience. At the moment I have been working on my 13B turbo S5, finally starting to look like something from an aircraft. I'm building an RV7 QB it should be shipped from vans early next month. I'm an aircraft sheetie with Qantas airlines down here in OZ, so progress on empenage was quick, (2 weeks to complete ). Having my manifold welded at the moment, water pump next witch leeds me to my question that I hope someone can answer. The gallery that connects the inlet and outlet inside the water pump casting just below the thermostat, should this be blocked if not running a thermostat. I could be wrong and probably are but with this open wouldn't the water take the route of least resistance and recirculate back through the engine. By the way I work just a few minutes from ATS Turbonetics and will be taking to them soon to mod the turbo so ill let you know what they say.
 Cheers.
 Mick. ( go for gold aussies)
