Re: My Boosted Deuce
To be honest with you, this manifold is prolly the most hack you can get. People say welding to cast doesn't work, and to a point, they're right. Youcan weld to cast, it just wont be very strong, as the weld doesn't penetrate nearly as far compared to the mild steel collector I welded onto it. I solved this problem by bracing the ---- out of it. The structural integrity is all in the bracing, the manifold itself doesnt support much wieght. The welds dont do much but effectively make the whole thing airtight.

Yeah I'm aware of people doing that, but with the BOV venting air, (as well as the some minor boost leaks lol) putting the AFM right in front of the intake made the most sense to me. The amount of air measured at the AFM is the amount of air the engine is seeing.

Where does boost come in on that t25 at?

Re: My Boosted Deuce
Apparently there's something else you can do to those to scale them back for larger injectors, something with taking that black rubber ---- off and putting a resistor inline.
Oh and boost comes on around 2800 RPM
