When I was at Pettits today this came in to dyno.



28 lbs of boost and 530 RWHP. Low 9 second car insane!!



I though I would share with the class. I like the intake setup. Looks like a blow through carb but its not. Very cool.

First - My bad on titling the thread Celica. Sorry I brain farted I knew it was a carolla I was high from dyno exhaust funes when I was putting this up.



They seemed to be Ricans but the car had "Lil Haiti" on the side window in shoe polish. So you figure it out.



The maual boost control is on the fender in front of the spring. LOL.



It used to be inside the car but they kept turning it up and they blew the engine.



They are running 28 PSI on a street port. Not too shabby. They are using a Haltech E6K to control it.

Wow, that car is NICE!



So, can someone explain the function of that unique intake? Sure does look like a blow-through setup, but since it isn't, what is it?!
