Keep an eye on your turbo bearings, I’ve read that some of them don’t like being in contact with gasoline / air charge. I’ll try to find where I got this info and send it to you, they suggested solutions for that. I recall it was a motorcycle turbocharging book.

Rock on!

link it up. not that we could be accused of giving two shits about the turbo, like i said i have a whole pile of them at the shop.
draw through setups have been around for ages though, people talk about the gasoline mixture 'pitting' the impeller blades and such, but for the ammount that this thing is driven i am not overly worried about it. i'd still like to see if people have solutions for it and such though.

i dont think you would have a problem with pitting because of how long the intake is. iv also heard that the fuel can damage the seals but iv never had a problem.

What size diameter/thickness pipe did you use for the frame? And what bender was used?

Pretty much, if you can, give us a rundown on how you made the frame. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to use for my 600cc sportbike buggy.
