| Hi Grumpy,

Need to open your eyes a tad farther.  Some classes don't even allow for
intercooling.

| The benefits of the turbo are less than half of that if designed WITH an
| intercooler....

Oh, Intercooler is just cooling intake charge, no one says you have to use
an intercooler to cool the intake charge.

| Plus the turbo and engine incur WAY more thermal stress and are short
| lived in comparison...
| It's like building a car without a radiator....
| A watercooled housing is a big help as far as oil breakdown within the
| turbo bushing/bearing area...where most of the oil breakdown occurs in a
| turbo engine due to the intense heat exposure in this area...

Why?, have you researched or directly experimented with the water cooled
center housings?.

| LATER!
