Couple things: Since EFI, boost has been delivered pre fuel. In fact, I think the early TCs were blow through designs. No matter where you send in the fuel, it will cool down a little. Snow kits are usually after the FI.
Second, little has been done on mine since the last post. I was set to work on it and it started to rain...no good for welding when that happens. I was going to get to it on tuesday but my partner's wife died. I have been taking care of all of the work related stuff for him so he can focus on his kids and other pressing matters at home. Looooong days.
And as far as the blower drive off of the front of the water pump, not a good idea. You can think of the forces to use 10hp on that little shaft and then add to it exponentially by lengthing that with another pully. Go all the way to the crank and find a bigger pully, weld it on and balance it. add an idler and a tensioner to keep the belt from floppin like a naked mans parts in the wind. Much better setup and you will not have to put a new pump on it every other week. Im sure there are other things I forgot, but I have to go.

That is good info to know. What about mounting it where the fan is located? Idk its just a thought to take off the fan and use the bolt holes on it to mount an extra pulley. I have also though about your idea also.
