I own a custom built Sand rail that is Turbocharged and had a problem with
the turbo and intake body(between carb and turbo) iceing up. what i did to
resolve the problem was to wrap tubing around the exhaust side of the turbo
then over to the air side of the turbo that was iceing up then out to a high
quality fuel pump out of the pump to a small oil type cooler then to the hot
side of the turbo. In return I have the hot coolant from the exhaust side
warming up the frosted up air side then going to the pump and out to a
cooler and around and around it goes.
Have been useing it that way for 1 1/2 years now...going to port injection
now for better fuel management. And all this on a VW motor
Hope it gives you some ideas
