turboing an 8v

[mr.utility at highstream.net (mr.utility@highstream.net)]

Being in Oklahoma, I don't know for sure...  BUT, at the old dealership 
building, they had a heater that would burn all the waste oil from all the oil 
changes...  I know that the thing had a filter on it much like an engine 
filter (it appereared)...  I know the thing worked well too, but beyond that??
