So what did you do to lower the CR?

I think the extra load on the alternator having to power the fan would be more of a drain than a gain on power, haha.

More than a wet dream. Least it comes with a supercharged badge.

In theory they are a good idea, but in reality when you crunch the numbers they are just a wet dream.

Do we have to do this every second topic of discussion? blow through, draw through, i've heard it a hundred times, should make a big button on the site that takes you directly to posts relating to A series turbo debates, and leave the rest of the forum for other stuff. I have an A15 draw through setup, and havent had any problems with it, even running up to 19 - 20 pounds boost on an accurate guage.

My mate has a blow through setup, had a few problems, but in the end, it's all boost pressure isnt it? We've heard the pros and cons a hundred times. Why doesnt everyone strap on one of those high speed fans and direct the air into the intake and call it a supercharger. Has anyone seen those? An AU ford that comes into my work has one. Even has a supercharged badge on the side....now there's an idea....

LOL I know we could both push some buttons, but I would like to see these flow charts hehe

make one it's easy enough

use steam pipe, buy some 90 degree bends, 1.25 internal diameter is a good fit

welded mine up with an arc welder, took 2 days to do manifold and dump pipes to a ollection point (remember this is for twin turbo) for a single it will take a lot less time

is there any source for A15 turbo exhaust manifolds? or do I have to make one.

oh i could SO push a few buttons here

really - they all have benefits and downfalls. talk to one person, get ONLY their advice and run with it. start mixing other people's advice into the pot and it's all a big mess of numbers, flow charts and problems.

Drawthroughs don't need a sneeze valve. there is no disadvantage for them in not having one.

don't be so bloody lazy and put injection on and eliminate all of those problems you know you can it's just a matter of sacrifice just work out what you can do without ( food , electricity , water , ) prioritise.
