Use the search bar on the left of the screen. a few people have used a down draft webers(?) in their blowthrough turbo setups. But if you just after a simple easy setup, people have had great success with the much easier (and cheaper) to setup draw through turbo. As I said before just have a search, all the info you need is out there. Have fun.....

The downside is no intercooler cooler air
better performance right ??

If you run a suck through then you cant run an intercooler or blow off valve. but if you are having detonation problems because of intake charge being too hot (shouldnt be too much of a problem for a low boost setup) then you can run a water injection system which will dramatically cool the charged air. The A series engines seem to respond to a bit of boost really well and people have got some impressive numbrs from very basic setups

another reason for not running suck through is that the turbo is from a diesel and i fear the oil leaking at high vacume??

The vacuum shouldnt be great enough to lose a significant amount of oil. The only time it could be is when the turbo is making full boost and you close the throttle to change gear. This would be the period of max vacuum but it will be so short that it wont starve the turbo. at idle the turbo wouldnt be creating enough vacuum for this to be a problem.

do you get the same response both ways
flow through and draw through?
and do you do any damage not using a dump valve?

As long as you have a correctly sized turbo, response shouldnt be too bad which ever way you go. As for the dump valve for the amount of boost you are going to be running it wont really be an issue, I have heard in VERY high boost applications that it can shear blades off the compressor wheel with compresssor surge but this is only for huge horsepwoer motors running ludicris boost levels.

Just take a tee off the oil sender line to get your oil feed for the turbo and then get a fitting welded into your sump for oil return

This thread has some good info

Turbo a12

edit: I dont think an oil cooler is necessary. you can run one if you want. It is just another thing that you have to buy.

Have fun and keep us updated with the progress if you do go ahead with it.
