That's exactly what I was thinking but with a bigg *** turbo bolted to the side.



Where's Ito, I'd like to hear his opinion/experience on this

well guess what it blew a hell of a lot of smoke, we had to clear the garage 3 times, god damn wind blew it back in, but it started.... :bigok:

need to fix the idle and a few things, but it should be out soon.

I was currently running that exact set up , bridged secondarys , streetported primarys with a T70 - 1.15 a/r , p trim turbine , I worked ****** great , that turbo would be spinnin hell hard at idle creating positive pressure and would hit 8psi (wastegate spring pressure) before 5000rpm.

I had it tuned to 8 psi and limited to 8000rpm and ran it that way for about two days then the turbo fucked up ( stopped turning) , the power and response I felt was increadible , The front of the car would be up in the air like a power boat , my intention was to run 25psi with methanol/ water injection @ 9000-9500rpm.

Now I am going with a TA51 / 45 turbo at 25-28 psi , should have it installed by tomorrow, will let you know how it works.

I thought the phrase "half bridge" was only applicable to 6port motors, when you bridge port the 5/6 port area, but leave the main port unbridged. Aren't turbo motors 4port?

See my avatar.

half bridge is when you only bp the secondarys in the end plates, and leave the primaries unbridged
