All, Tacked together my exhaust manifold yesterday on the CBR600. The turbo is low and in front, about 8-9" from the exhaust ports. I have been taking pics during the project and will post them when and if I get this thing running. Are you all supporting the full weight of the turbo with the exhaust manifold, or have you added mounting brackets in addition to this? I am planning to scavenge the oil from the turbo using a Shurflo pump, which will be mounted higher than the turbo. They spec that they can self prime up to 6 or 9 feet or so. My question is should I build a mini oil pan under the turbo, or just hook the pump up. I'm worried about oil pooling in the line below the turbo and blocking fresh oil from coming in. I smoked a bearing on my snowmobile turbo setup, I know it was oil related, so I'm being cautious. Any suggestions? thanks, Dave.
