Guys, thanks for all the replies and especially to those that have helped via email. In considering this project, I’m now leaning towards using more factory 930 components.

I was thinking of the following

- 78/79 factory 930 intake/fuel management system (sans rear pump in lieu of -044 pump up front);
- Injector blocks ported slightly to match my small port SC heads (34mm intake port on heads vs 32mm port on 930 intake, I think);
- Tial 46mm WG with .5 bar spring;
- Elimination of factory intercooler with routing of turbo discharge pipe directly to TB;
- Gravity drain on 3dlz turbo

Assuming there are no glaring problems, can you let me know where you think you might see issues? I would like to continue to drive the car fairly regularly, so anything related to cold start valve, TTS, etc.?

Could I eliminate the factory bypass duct in favor of an aftermarket BOV/bypass back to the turbo intake pipe? I have a very limited understanding of the factory bypass system, but it looks like there are a couple hoses and vacuum pods present. Are those solely related to the bypass system, or would I affect other parts of the CIS?

As always, thanks for your help and the wealth of knowledge.
