The v8 90q has a whissle in it's step now.

[Ed Kellock]

I've been following along and am extremely impressed.  I think what
you've accomplished is very cool.  It's really a two-part project
though, isn't it?  You've dropped a PT into a 90 PLUS you've
turbocharged it.  The latter part of the project is of most interest
to me.  I hope to benefit from your experience at some point down the
road while leaving my PT in it's original home.

I greatly appreciate any info you care to share about the
turbocharging portion of your project.  I've been focusing lately on a
4.2 swap for my V8q 5spd, but would be very interested in the twin
turbo setup.  Besides, then I could justify having both a 4.2
automatic and my 5spd, not that I wasn't already going to do that
anyway.  ;-)

I realize you've done a lot of the fabrication yourself and that
packaging would be different in the PT's original engine bay, but what
you've done so far is called "proof of concept" in technical arenas. 
The first big step...

Great work Nate.
