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

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.

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.
