January 16, 200719 yr comment_159809 there are vacuum tank things that you can get for turbo cars to mack sure that there is vacuum in the booster more often. works buy useing one way valves and the like, still uses manifold vac, but holds the vac for when jump on the brakes. Report

A servicable brake booster should hold enough vaccuum for up to 5 stops. Report

January 17, 200719 yr comment_159932 You CANNOT run boost THROUGH an SU. It just wont work. Well, it can work. You just have to get the throttle shaft seals installed so it doesnt leak when under pressure. Do some research on the MG Metro Turbo and you will find it is a blow-through SU turbo set-up :) Edited January 17, 200719 yr by Raven Report

January 17, 200719 yr comment_159940 My plans are for a twin SU supercharged or turbo 4K. Not sure if it'd work well or not though but willing to give it a shot :jamie: Report
January 18, 200719 yr Author comment_160045 with how the tune is on my carby which is really bad the turbo is not very laggy at all . i have a automatic diff in the car and only get about 30kmh out of first gear so the revs rise really quickly and spools the turbo fast and it holds full boost into each gear :jamie: . i chose this turbo even though it was quite large (around a t3 size) mainly because it is sealed correctly, has only done 40,000kms and i got it for 160 bucks so thought couldnt go wrong and id give it a go ;) :y: . it becomes quite expensive when it comes to getting a turbo rebuilt and with the correct seals in it.
