Good Luck! Those things are like gold to the people that have them. I tried for two years to find a matching set and struck out everytime I tried. I have an extra set now and won't let them go. Carson Brummet has new ones for sale, or you are gonna have to buy a complete set up to get them like I did.

I'm an absolute retard when it comes to putting pictures up. When I go to upload the picture it says its an invalid file.

I know this might sound a bit hoakie, but if you are having cooling problems it might get you by until you can find the housings. I have done this before and it worked great. If you tee into your lake water inlet line just after the pump and before the engine and run a copper tube coiled around your exhaust turbine housing and back out the lake out line, the water cooled copper tube would act as a heat exchanger. You could pack some foil or high heat insulation around the outside of the tubing and install a stainless steel or aluminum sheet metal cover and who would know, if done right.
I was going to make some covers for my T-4's mainly so no one gets burned, when one day I discovered they were already made . . . . don't laugh . . . . . I was in the cookware section of a local department store and found some stainless steel and aluminum spun bowls that were the perfect shape. I just needed to measure to confirm . . . but have not got that far. I really don't need them as my turbos are out in the wind anyway, but it is an idea :idea: that could save me or someone else a few bucks.

open the file with microsoft paint(start/programs/accessories/paint) and resave the file as a JPG or Jpeg file instead of a bitmap(.bmp)

thanks for the tip! i think i"ll try it! im in the AC industry and copper will be easy... plus i already have the ss covers and a big roll of "cool-it" header wrap.
oh and certain size ss dog bowls would work! lol... was in the pet industry for a long time too.

very nice! i thought about the open bow conversion too... but got enough work to do!

Just buy my twin turbo setup, it has the water cooled housing covers and just think of all the spare parts you'll have. I don't know what they cost new but i'm sure there not cheap.

Barry, thanks for the help with the pictures. I guess I'm still a picture-tard.
78 thanks. Luckily, all the interior work was done when I got it.
Vee-Driven is right. You might be better off buying his set up, using the stuff you need from it and selling the rest. Maybe he'll cut you a hell of a deal.
