the reasons i'm not going external is;

-cost (gonna need 2)
-complexity (piping, etc)

i'm trying to stay simple & clean

i guess i'll have to go experiment in the garage

thanks for the link

haha, i must be losing my mind, i went to tinker with the turbos today, & the rods are already threaded from the factory, funny i don't remember seeing that, but hell, it must be over a year since i last looked at these up close

tho i don't think they'll get low enough, i wanna start out at like 4psi
