Re: 70% complete 172RWD!

Steve, I'm guessing this engine used to run in the front of the car? Was it turbo'd then or have you converted it to go in the back?

Just wondering if you had any issues with it breathing heavily when you first turbo'd it? do you know if any of the chaps running F4R turbo's use a modified breather setup at all?
