Default Sunny & 78, took the 968 Turbo for a drive!!!!!!!

The weather was just too nice here in Savannah today. Took the turbo for a blast out to Roebling Rd and a tour through down town.

Cheers,

Probably the same hp (or not), but compared to that my motor looks really dilapidated!

I asked this question elsewhere. More appropriate here.

Joel, I know this is way off topic, but man, I am perplexed at what I see.

Why does your fuel line double back on it's self and take such a funky path under, around, and across? Why the 180* fitting? Seems odd to me when there are so many better choices in fittings and paths.

Amber: Funky? The path does not effect fuel delivery or performance, not an issue.

LOL. Didn't say that it did. I like everything else I see. Seems like a great build. Just looks like someone cheaped out on the one fitting and then had to patch in all the zip-tied padding. A 90* Earl's would have solves several problems. Never mind. I'll go away now.

How did you get to 3.2? Darton lists maximum bore size for the 3L block sleeves as 106mm.
