Digifant on a 16v question

[aculda@cogeco.ca (Adrian C.)]

actually my plan before hand with the G60 TB was to take out the recirc
valve and shaft, weld up the holes
weld a flange for the BOV on there :)
and voila a perfect beginer turbo setup :)

I used the 16v TB for a while, but I got tired of changing rubber
inlets.  I was using ones off of A2 16v's, and they kept splitting open.
The G60 TB has that stupid recirc valve, but I cut it off and had the
hole welded up and now I've got a beautiful round inlet.  It's totally
worth it IMO :)

I kept the existing filter and hacked up the stock (CIS) rubber lines.
They're barbed underneath.  From there I had a barbed fitting on the
return line, and I found a straight barbed banjo fitting for the fuel
filter.  Then I ran some aeroquip 250 psi line to/from the rail. A la
