Where did the solo seat come from? Harley?
Yes, the seat is the the standard Police seat from a Harley, found on ebay for $49.
Now for Diesel Daves questions.
Feel free to pick.
Maybe I've confused you. I'm thinking your looking at the intake and confusing it with the exhaust. The Turbine is plumbed as close to the exhaust as possible retaining as much heat as possible.
For the oil feed, I just drilled and brazed a oil feed line off the bottom of the oil pressure sender block located on #2 cylinder feeding valve train. The oil drain has NO restriction, you need to let all the oil drain or oil pressure would push oil past the turbine bearings and into either the intake or the exhaust side of the turbocharger.
As for your use of a radiator for an intercooler, in this situation, it would be fine as long as the radiator is clean and you keep boost lower than the burst capacity of the radiator (heat exchanger). But I think anything over 6-12psi boost, get an intercooler designed for your application. I'm seeing full boogy diesel boosts on compound turbocharger setups making 130-170lbs plus boost pressure. This turbo has a waste gate set at 6-7lbs boost.
