Boucher,
thanks for the pics, I am sure the kid & others can learn from your pics.
I discuss these types of mods to do, but w/no pics,some guys can't picture or imagine what I am talking about.
So if you have more pics of your install & mods, keep them comming!
Did you take out the heat riser valve?
I might be a bit concerned about any debree or metal disloging fron that valve area. It could wipe out your turbine wheel.
10 psi is a bit much for cast pistons, no intercooler, no methanol injection, on pump gas, what octane fuel are you using? Not impossible,just
be carefull.
I built an 80 VW 8.5:1 1.8 liter Scirocco years ago that ran up to 20 psi on 91 octane,but it had a Renault fuego intercooler.
BTW, you do need to uprade your fuel pump,or run a boost referenced line to it,7 psi from the fuel pump & 10 psi of boost,something aint right there. LOL
I take it you have the nitrofil (SP) plastic Holley float?
