I had a sub 2 second canopy ride from terminal. 😮

Anyhow, I made up a temporary bracket to locate the turbo. (Ultimately a nice stainless plate will replace the “H”)

And then started doing a little exhaust planning. I’ll be getting a magneto, so that pretty much forces the front pipe to go under the side of the engine. Then i thought I’d merge the two pipes under the transmission area and feed the turbo from there.

It’s pretty simple, and I’m not opposed to something wacky or different, I’d be interested in seeing some other ideas. Here’s a blank sheet:
