That's an option too, but because i can't do it myself and i don't know anyone who could it's probably going to cost me a lot of money. So it should be done with existing parts.

What sensors have to be taken from the B200ET/FT? I recon the mass airflow meter, the crankcase sensor..?

I'm planning to go back to the scrappy where i saw a 940 turbo this friday. I will take some pictures of the engine to take a better look at home.

The 360 turbo is not the cup car. The 360 cup cars can't have any modifications to keep the game fair. But i think he's planning to race the 360 turbo too, but on open track days.

That's the 'old' manifold and Garrett turbo. I'll recommend to anyone building a 360 turbo as a road car, rather than an outright power machine, to use the Mitsubishi turbo and newer manifold. I suspect the Mitsi will clear just fine.

Having said all of this, I'm sure I know of someone who has fitted a Garrett with no clearance problems at all...discuss!

James,

Can you tell me which sensors these will be?

Everything. If it has a wire going to it, you need it. I wouldn't even think about doing it from a list by 'mail order'. To play it safe, I'd even pull the temp senders from the head. They should be the same, but you can't know for definite, and if the resistance curve is wrong, it'll screw up how the car runs.
