efi conversion intake manifold idea

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Luke, yes, that's the earliest style turbo setup for the 5k cars, overall those parts are rare, and it is pretty small and restrictive, I think that turbo tube is about 1.75", the setup might be good for 175hp, who knows, but its hardly worth doing for EFI, the 4kq manifold or even KH manifold are better performing parts for that matter, and installation isn't difficult at all.
