Calling all 4kq turbo conversions

[Luis Marques <marques@rtis.ray.com>]

Just like a bunch of people on this list, I have been trying to follow
the progress of some of the 4kq turbo conversions.  I was wondering I
some of these folks could post either privately or to the whole list a
detailed list of the issues that have to be dealt with like for example,
relocating the battery, the right tie rod, air conditioning, radiators,
intercoolers, etc, etc.

In other words, what problems they ran into and how they went around
them like if the 5kt clutch/flywheel would bolt up to the 4kq
transmission, or if the intake manifold fit under the hood without
modifications, or the hydraulic system.  Perhaps we could even assemble
a step-by-step guide to doing the conversion, or at least put together a
god set of FAQ's.  I can volunteer to gather all the inputs and edit
them into a good format for somebody else to put on a web page for all
to see.  I guess the ultimate guide must contain pictures as well :)

So let hear form all you lurkers (and not so lurkers) out there that
have BTDT!  I'm sure that there is no shortage of 4kq's just dreaming of
this transplant.
