One more thing, Todd.  I think it important that you realize that my 
intake will provide cooling for the generator.  Part of the casting will 
be centrifugal blower blades.  Air flows in around the generator and 
then get a small boost in pressure from the fan blades spinning at 6000 
RPM.  A shroud around the PSRU mount plate will be ducted straight to 
the intake manifold.

I didn't buy the unit online, because I found a local vendor that was 
interested.  Price was about the same by the time you ship that heavy thing.
