Pretty sure it also had a turbocharger with a manual wastegate mounted
aft on the belly, and an intercooler in-between the turbocharger and
the supercharger.

How about that! I had no idea that the jug had all of that plumbing hiding back
there in that bulk!

I thought the P-38 was somewhat unusual for having the turbo supercharger way
back in the body.

Any others that have the long plumbing? (not in a nacelle)
