Gotta be carful with dem carbs, itelluwhut. I dun herd some stories of how you can get yer mullet caught in them thar devices. It will never return. RIPdale.

 

Turn the pressure down some then?

 

turning the boost down won't help much. The Pr will be consistent with the amount of air the turbo moves. the better thing to do is make the head more efficent by porting and polishing. If you want, take off the E6, and I will port and polish it for you. That helps a lot


Also, a afpr will help a lot without having to move to a larger fuel pump.

 

No. His is a GT, mine is an SVO...two entirely different animals.


Regarding the manifold, I'm going to ditch it for something else. Dave is going to be making a couple custom log-style manifolds with external wastegate flanges. I'll either go with one of his or one of the ones from turboford.org.

I'm also researching new turbos. Trying to find something with not a whole lot of lag, but capable of producing 300-325 rwhp when I start doing head work down the road. This is also my excuse to get rid of the water cooled stock unit, go with an external wastegate, and have full 3-inch exhaust from the exhaust elbo back.
