I think this is how I am going to put an exhaust heat exchanger on my Camaro. Use the EGR passage cast in the cylinder head that is blocked off at the intake manifold. I can tap into it by attaching a turbo waste gate to the intake manifold. Then the rest is only a matter of plumbing.
That is a great idea. Its just a lot more complex and costly than the air idea. I don't want to stick a turbo on the Metro (though that would make it a lot more fun ). I wanted the setup to be as simple and cheap as possible to make it a viable mod for more ecomodders.
