hector, why dont you just unbolt the CHRA from the exhaust side and fab up a small plate that would use the old hardware and block off where the CHRA used to go into the exhaust housing.
Chra= center housing rotating assembly

i used the plate from a fireplace flue and drilled holes in the sheet metal to match the tubine housing. routed the oil supply directly into the drain tube and left the intake pulling through the intercooler. i had to come up with something quick when my turbo died.
i was running 7psi at just over 100mph and somehow the compressor nut came off and was eaten. really messed he turbo up but nothing made it into the engine.
i havent driven that car for well over a year now. its in storage 2000 miles away. i miss driving it all the time.

Yeah my friend managed to make one but at the time I didnt need it anymore since I got a replacement turbo that works very well now. His turbo went and he needed a car for work and ended up using it. It worked nice, of course the car los alot of torque but at least he was able to drive to work. He decided not to mass produce as it was tedious to make and not enough interest out there.
