REFLECTOR:Engines - TSIO520

[Brian Michalk]

Rotate the turbo?
I assume the shaft will stay horizontal.  I'm sure it's been done, but
turbos don't like having the CHRA at an angle relative to gravity.
I purchased two motorcycle intercoolers from somewhere I can't remember
right now.  The flow numbers are right, and with two of them, it's a natural
to blow in the center, and from there route up to the intake manifolds.
