Thought I'd take one more run at this before I leave it off. Any other big guns out there that don't run something like this or have an opinion one way or the other?

Here's a pic of the engine installed with the fuel lines and ignition wires hooked up:

Suuu - weeeet.

Where did you get the fuel rails?

Also, where does that cooling thingy go? It looks like (from your pics) that it goes between the turbo and scavange pump. If so, I wonder what its cooling. After going through the scavenge tank, I think the oil will have cooled to engine temp. I use two large front fender oil coolers and nothing else. In fact, I don't use an engine oil cooler any more either (15.5 qt capacity). For example, today (here in Atlanta) my oil temp never made it past 180 F. In my opinion, thats a problem since the oil needs to get warm enough to boil off moisture. Personally, I would not use it for plumbing and space reasons- sell it on ebay to a supra owner.

I got the fuel rail stock from Marren.

The cooler was on the supply side to the top of the turbo, but it had about 8' of hose.

My car had one before I rebuilt the motor a couple of years ago. It was located in the same area as yours (left wheel well). I dumped it. Saw no use for it. I dont see how a 12" inch piece of straight aluminum with some fins is going to cool the oil down enough to even make it worth having even if it came with the car when I bought it. My car didnt run any hotter without it.
