You can get oil from a blown seal in the I/C, but not fuel. The "cold" side of the turbo is nothing more than a compressor. There is no fuel/air mix running through a "conventional" setup.
Sterling, it was actually a simple setup. It looked akward, but it was very functional and didn't cost much (some aluminum sheet and 2 Holley 1/2" base flanges...metal of course).
On the Camden, I loved the ones I have owned. The only thing that most overlook, especially in the South where I am, is the cooling issue. Most don't address this until after the Camden has been installed and see the extra heat generated by the blower. The turbo setups that i have mentioned remained somewhat close to stock cooling due to the I/C cooling the charged air.
Look, guys, I'm not trying to say any of us are wrong or picking fights. There are just a select few people I know that like to have something different. The rotary is the 1st thing (there's not that many around here), and then anything else adds to that. I hope I haven't offended anyone, as that was not my purpose. Just as Sterling mentioned, these are rare cases of ingenuity and against the grain methods of making their system work. I was priviledged to have a small part in it.
