This discussion could even kickstart me to look seriously at getting my '82 back on the road (she's lookin' pretty sad these days).

Ken, thanks so much for the extra info. I had no idea. 😀

WowCool
The guy's got the turbo kit on the car and 18 minutes left it's only going for like $15,750?

Not sure there's a real need for a duplication of this turbo kit since there's a piece meal Turbo kit option you can put together right from this forum. There's a guy making log manifolds and then any modern day turbo you'd like with enough power to split the block in half. LOL

Link? Because I was thinking as I've read this thread... How hard would it be to bend up a 2.25 y pipe from iron log manifolds, and bring it back up for a single T4 flange and wastegate connection? 10 years ago I planned to do something like that. Now it is mostly just a curiosity. But cool stuff for sure.
