hey doug i had a mate have a fiddle with the carbs and it has a rising rate reg so the pressure isnt at a constant 6-8 pound so fingers crossed i have had the same set up but single carb and that was fun as on 5 pound but so far so good lol

Looks neat, is that an intercooler or just a plenum?

Stanley I guess the reward is in the doing of it

Nice intercooler setup BTW. Is there a blow off valve fitted?

Turbo flutter isn't considered a healthy thing for the turbo impeller.

I'd consider a BOV for any turbo carb application.

Having said all that I can't wait to see you run next weekend 😎

That's a neat little intercooler.... Shop sourced or home grown?... Are those Kadrons on there?... I know of a few peeps blowing through the stock solex with minor mods... The Kadron is basically the same sort go carb, so the principles should be similar.... Looking for to having a closer look.

FUCH your early!

all the fab work was done at home intercooler core was brought and than sheet end takes where folded and everything is welded together the only place where silicon pipe is used is on the carb to pipe onnection to minimise boost leak issues!
and IWL_86 im my last turbo bug i tried running a bov but i found it due to the short 1st gear it affected my launch due to loosing pressure so off it came.

That shouldn't be an issue if the bov is installed correctly.
