    wow im lost for words

    drags use presure relief valves to protect against over boost or backfires

    if everyone treaded others with a little respect you wouldnt get half the crap thats posted around here thus why i dont bother, to many keyboard pros that couldnt find the filler cap if it didnt have "oil" written on it let alone be turbo pros.

    my blet carry on theres great progress being made.....

    am I to late to jump in, maybe its gone off topic but from what we tested in oz at a mates workshop with external positions was that the external placed in a good position so as not to interrupt gas flow and cause turbulence was the best place to mount it a nice flowing angle off the manifold would not hinder the flow off the gas therefore making the turbo spool faster if ya need proof look at HKS manifolds and the angles with which the externals are mounted.... Another form of boost control is to use a blow valve so that it leaks at a certain point have seen it done like this a few times very different but just as effective

    ^^ :) I have made 3-4 with 'flowing angles ;D' If you buy quality they come with guidlines (installation tips) too, pretty simple & has been for a few years now. 90deg off the collector is a piss poor attempt in my mind BUT it's cheap & easy :D

    Most definately and thats how most externals I have seen in Nz are mounted 90 deg I think are case is proven with Siamese dump pipes sums it all up in one

  4. every car reviewer said it about the bugeye and version 8 even I thought they were fugly when I first seen em but when ya see them up close and personal in the flesh for the first time it kinda changes your opinion even the version 11 was damn fugly till the boss at work got one now I want one the thing is an animal so maybe opinions might change when ya up close and personal

  5. I'd say there is also alot of merit indexing spark plugs be damn hard in a sub as you cant see the plug when its in but there are some free gains in power jus from put the electrode in the right position relative to the fuel and air mixture
