may have to use a sandwich block to get an oil feed. meens you can then run a front mounted oil cooler too.

will that give a oil feed? i was just thinking the sandwich block was to cool the oil getting in and out of the filter?
how would u take a feel from it?

hmm thinking about it maybe not, yes it is used o you can run a different il cooler. think the oil feed on my td comes from the block.
you will probably also need some kind of dumpvalve, an amal valve actuator etc.. wat about cams? turbos tend to run different cams, fuel pump too. mine has 2 settings, one for normal fuel adjustment and one which you can set too supply extra fuel whilist on boost. perhaps you may need one from an let etc...

5th injector cheaper then ECU

You'll need oil supply (off the pump) and return (in to the sump)
After market ecu if you intend to run more than about 6psi (e.g emerald 600+235mapping)
You need to lower the compression ratio, thick head gasket or if you intend to run high power then forged Pistons (700-800, oh and rods 1000)
Then you need to mod the block to ensure pistons 5&6 don't melt due to poor cooling.
Bigger injectors, and re-profiled cams for a turbo app.
Oh and a oil cooler too.

Surely you could take the oil feed from a cooler sandwich plate, then you have a feed and a return, just run an oil cooler inline with it.

It wouldn't be a 5th injector either would it, it would be a 7th, and wouldn't you need an 8th as well?
Charge cooler would go between the inlet and turbo, not sure about water pumps and things though.
Stop me if Im wrong, but wouldn't you need twin turbos if your using an exhaust manifold like that?

Saab set up is a single turbo on one side. Beardy wouldn't i be easier to source the whole Saab engine loom ecu etc.... as it's design to run like that already?? Probably the complete and cheapest option. Just a thought.

Doesn't that upset the balance of the engine? Is that how all single turbo V6's work? I thought the turbo would be further down the exhaust system, once the 2 heads exhausts had merged.
