Hey Tom;
Note my earlier comments. and Scott is right about the heat.  We are looking 
at around 1600-1800 deg. at the turbo, more or less.  We are hanging the 
turbo low, with only a 12" x 4" exhaust, venting directly out the side, and 
keeping the stock openings in the cowl for exhaust heat.  The redrive, as I 
said earlier is a RWS, 2.85:1 reduction drive rated at 450 hp at take off, 
and about 65-75% at cruise. That nasty looking radiator at the front is the 
intercooler for the turbo.  Everything else for water and oil cooling is in 
a belly scoop.  As soon as we get her flipped back on her stomach, we will 
send some pictures.
