Yes there is a plug on it, and i already have a brass fitting that will fit on there, i will just use rubber fuel line and clamp it on the brass nipples, my buddies use it all the time for this, works fine.

I want to get some use out of the N/A internals, yah alot of you guys have been saying for a long time they cant handle boost, but what the hell, its all for fun and to experiment, i will use it till it starts smoking bad, i dont plan on totally cracking the hell out of the pistons, just till it seems like its getting week. When i get the forged pistons, im going to stick with a little higher compression, they will be forged and can handle it, i was thinking 8.5:1. Are the stock N/A rods really skinny too? Are the stock cast turbo rods just thicker, and how about the 86 forged turbo rods(If i remember what years they were forged). I can get a set of custom rods for probably around 350-400 bucks. Is that more worth while than getting stock forged turbo rods? If i go with a water cooled turbo, i think i am just coming off where the water line is above the headers that goes into the dash(Heater core) and run it through the turbo first.

Also another idea was to come off the balance shaft feed line, and run a front mount oil cooler and then into the turbo. Would this be a good idea and make the engine run a little cooler, better lubrication, or would this cause too much pressure drop through the oil line, if thats even possible, thanks a bunch
