I would love to see a photo. I've worked on Rich's engine and know some 
of the ins and outs of turboing these DeLorean engines (albeit that 
they're all bodges). It sounds like you might have something interesting 
there.

Does it really have a new intake manifold, or just the bit in the middle?

Oh, and Reno is a place in Nevada, where one of the gold DeLoreans 
lives. Renault is the French car manufacturer from whom so much of our 
engines come.
