Duane can > take a look under his hood and tell me how they did these things
on his car.
> 1: What exactly are the best engine mounts to use for putting the turbo

but
> maybe someone knows different.
> 2: What do I do about the exhaust manifold? Will the stock 5kt downpipe
work
with modifications or will I need to have a custom downpipe made to get from
the manifold to the cat?
> 3: What is the best way to use the throttle cable system from the 4kq and
adapt it to
> the turbo engine? Should I buy a cable off of another car or will the 4k
> cable work with some type of adapter that I would need to fabricate?
> 4: Where is the ac compressor located on the urq's? I was planning on at
> least temporarily not doing ac but for future reference I would like to know
> where this and the other ac parts are located so I can do some forward
> planning. I will have the compressor and mounting bracket off the engine I
> have, so I can use them. Can I use the compressor from this engine or will
it
> not work with the 4kq system? Will it even fit where the 5000's is located.
> 5: I am planning on getting the intake system from an urq but is the intake
> system compatable with the 5kt engine? For example: If I use the urq fuel
> distributer will that work with the rest of the 5kt engine management or
> various sensors?
> 6: Is the 4000 flywheel compatible with the "Turbo" clutch that I will have
to
install?
> Just to keep you updated. The engine is just about out of the 5kt and we
have
> been marking everything as we are taking it out. Hopefully we can get the

things.

would
