Looks like a cool mod.
Would the outlet be on the same side for a Puma, since the turbo is on the right/driver's side?
Well that's a mod I'll be sure to do once the new head goes on. I guess you lower the pressure by letting out the hot air and more cool air has no choice but to come in via the radiator.
By the time I got the angle grinder going I was shaking so much I almost had to stop.

Very nice work James. Did you put the foil insulation on the bulkhead?

Damn - could I have run two turbos then? :pQuote:

Sorry flagg, do you mean having the hole in the guard? Serg or redrovertdi might have to answer that. I haven't driven it since I cut it out.Quote:
