My porsche 944 S2 16 valve turbo project

Yes, the turbo outlet is pointing down and I have welded on a ninety degree bend to it. This points across the top of the alternator and then with a couple of ninety alloy bends, we go down in front of the radiator to the intercooler. All fits in nice and neat, plenty of room really. Air then cross's over to the right hand side, up to the top and back across to the left and out through the normal point, straight to the throttle housing.
Cheers Tim

Tim, great build, keep up the great work and info.
Question for you: the 8v and 16v 944 motors uses slightly different lifters. Unfortunately, INA stopped making replacement lifters for the 8v a few years ago. I've heard there are Cosworth lifters that are a drop-in fit for the 8v 944, but I haven't been able to confirm if that's true and/or which lifters would work. I've seen pictures of a Cosworth lifter that looks like the 944 16v lifter, but not the 8v lifter. I figured you might be uniquely able to figure that out, since you may be one of the only guys around with 944 and Cosworth parts laying about....

Looks a nice system Tim, 3" ? What flywheel are you getting and from whom?

The flywheel is being made by a local company we use and is going to accept twin sprung centred organic plates, which should be nice for road use.

That looks like a lot of machining! should have taken a pic of the large chuck of metal before it was machined.
Was that really made from one large piece of steel? I don't see any join lines or fasteners....
