that would be truly sad, if that draw thru carb'd turbo setup went away.. it was, afterall, the insperation to my own turbo.. i still remember the first Pomona swap meet, when this mysterious "sam gore" showed up with the turbo in hand, driving his chevy pick-um-up, swearing he's got a 914 that mates up to that turbo, in his garage..
tonight i take apart the exhaust, wire brush the surface (it's got some surface rust after sitting for 4-5 months), and hi-temp paint it.. drill, tap, helicoil the exhaust studs (who'd thunk they made 9mm helicoils!)(i lost 4 out of the 8 exhaust studs, the reason why the car was put out of commission before), bolt everything back up, and i'm ready to have sore arm, back, leg muscles from driving the car.. along with a perma-grin.. :P
it'll be MUCH better than driving the NA MR2..
