4kqt questions



Greetings to everyone on the list.  I'm new to the list, and am already glad I
usbscribed.  I have an 84 4kq that is going to be turbocharged by late spring
( hey, everyone's doing it).  The system I'm using came from an 81 5kt.  No
intercooler, but for 150 bucks for the whole car, I'm not complaining.  I'll
be running my stock engine with stock compression, retarding the timing a bit,
and turning bown the boost to about 5 lbs.  This should prove to be
interesting, high compression and low boost is fashionable at the moment.  My
question is, what sort of intake boot can I use?  You know, from the air flow
meter to the piping that runs to the turbo inlet.  Space is at a premium on
that side of the engine bay, and the boot from the 81 5kt won't fit.  Is there
a factory intake boot I can use ,or am I left to devise something?  Also, the
diaphragm in the wastegate I have is torn.  Does anyone have a spare diaphragm
they wouldn't mind parting with, or perhaps even the whole wastegate?  
Thanks
