If anyone has the specifics on this upgrade or any other upgrade on
the system, please post to the list, it would be of particular
interest.  It might be on f-chat, I havne't looked.  My compressor has
a leak around the shaft so I plan to replace instead of rebuilding
someday, although I'm in no big rush.

The system sucks more than it blows, and if there's an improvement
I'll be interested.
