Re: Which Cylinder head?

You are right. I don't know what I was thinking when I made that comment. For some odd reason I was thinking if i were to run the same boost pressure, not even thinking I should be turning down the boost. There is a trade off there.

I forgot to answer what I made my boost controler out of,
T fitting from an air compressor. On the top part of the T, there is a screw that controls the tention of the spring and the spring rest on a little metal ball, like the size of a bb. The bb ofcourse blocks air off untill it reaches a certain pressure where it lets air travel to the bottom of the T and that goes to the waste gate. I have a picture. I should just post it. less then $20.00!

What other questions did I miss, The hard pipes are SS (i will measure it later). I am not sure how the end tanks on the FMIC are going to work, they will work but I just don't know how well... I don't know if I like the design... It is a greedy core with for a 2g with the end tanks cut off and some new ones welded on to fit a 1g. I know there was a big discussion on end tanks not too long ago.

On the hard pipes, there is a flange designed for a DD blitz blow off valve. Came with the intercooler and hardpipes. I think I am going to have to change the spring so it handels over 18 psi. I haven't seen too many people use them so I don't know how it will work.

Just want to say thank you for clearing up a lot of miss information for me. I feel kind of dumb asking questions like these sometimes but it is the only way I will learn on how stuff works!
