Here are a few pictures and some specs. I opted for water to air intercooler and water to oil cooler, these old R5's where know to burn because of poor oil line routing to the oil cooler. I made the plenum and used the throttle body and intercooler off a GMC Typhoon. I also used MSD DIS-4 to the individual coils. There is a small knob on the dash which controls the boost level. I have seen 24 psi but only on mixture of av gas and regular. I keep it modest at 1 bar 14 psi. The old system was CIS with a ridiculous turbo plumbing.

Very nice. I've always like the R5 Turbo.

...and I think it's fair to say that your garage is nicer than mine. Shocked

That is a picture of my theater, I park cars around it for viewing. My garage is 30x50 with epoxy floors, heat and air, its real nice for working.

Here is another picture of the theater.
