When I took it round to me dads to show him what he'd helped me make, my mum
gave me a book I'd lost about 6 months ago..... I'd been searching for my
copy of Maximum boost ever since I started my conversion.. Dammit.. I was
reading it last night.
Let me run a theory run by you.
If I take the exhaust side of say a t25 turbo, and connect that up to the
throtl side of say a t3 turbo, then I can make more boost without creaating
more lag, provided I use a larger intercooler to take the higher capacity,
then I should be able to do that successfully?
Then take my two halves that are left over, make a high-lag, low output
turbo and sell it to my brother in law to shove on his monaro.. :)
How does that all sound in theory?
