Has it ever been tried?....

Does anyone know of anyone that has tried to do a turbo conversion on a 180 with a single turbo remote mounted somewhere on the exhaust tract, maybe off the collector or something, meaning that not too much pipework would be needed?

Would it be possible to piggyback an oil feed from the oil cooler??

I know there isnt a lot of space but space can be made and something small like a T2 from an R5 GTT would still produce good power with not much lag.

Sorry if this sounds mad, I'm just having a 'thoughts in the bath' moment!!

As I was on my back fitting my janspeed I was pondering.

There really isnt ANY room. NON

You would also need scavenge pump for the oil return if you mount the turbo that low.
