Dave Dunlop / Fast By Me turbo's, very enjoyable to watch his builds.

He does them all, like this draw through system.

I'm leaning towards a blow through system mainly because I'd like the turbo out in the wind.

I agree with you on preferring a blow thru system, keep the snail down low in front of the engine...especially if you added (fj1289)  Chris's fuel injection system to the mix.
I wouldn't want that red hot turbo shell anywhere close to the tank and seat.

Dan McCoy (aka giantkiller)  is working on his draw thru  FJ turbo project.

Here's a cool Yamaha 750 blow thru system, but I'm not sure on the big ass intercooler.

If I ever get back to it. Hope to get somewhere around 220hp. Way it's set right now should be 200hp. On pump gas. I also have the smart car/sled motor. Smart should weigh 1500lbs with  an easy 300hp. Out of rx1 motor with turbo or maybe one of the turbo triples. They just need a better intake and a tuner to get 300hp. There is a guy down by milwaukee. Thats getting 725hp out of the rx1.
But I have to stop coming up with house projects. Smart with a stock skidoo turbo sled motor 176hp. Did low 10s in the 1/4.

Fast By Me has a great rep in many forums.  What ive seen posted looks like great work.

Man o man did I nag Dan about finishing up that turbo.
Granted he's a fellow with a bunch of great projects going on and an equal amount of distractions from motorcycles that are running and just need riding. (Thanks again for that Rally lend way back when).
I don't know, maybe I'll have to pay him another visit this summer, eat lots of ice-cream and push that turbo project to the front of the line.
life without a bike is just life

Yeah I just need to get my ass in gear. I'm being lazy in my old age. I just need to stop coming up with new ideas for projects
 
And Finnish atleast a couple of the really fun ones.

Maybe we do an "Aussie style" shed weekend at Dan's - except we bring our tools and build a turbo bike!
