rad caps will say on them how much pressure they'll hold, sometimes it's in Bar and sometimes in p.s.i.

He's running a Demon carb and he is being cheap about his turbo kit? Very cool idea though. One thing I don't really understand is why he is only running one turbo off one side of the exhaust. The other side is just a normal exhaust with no turbo?

The exhaust is piped around from the other side, if you look at the huge turbine on that Schwitzer, that's the only way it would spool.

Car is 79 Trans-am with 455, Demon carbs don't like boost as the gentleman found out so it now runs a 750 DP, and it's only a low boost, low revving ride since 455 cylinder walls are pretty thin. He pushes ~8 psi, the anemic piece of ---- only runs 11.3's.

The Stant is there as BOV and overboost poppet valve. I like it. :>

Re:Ahahaa
 
Technically we could actually run one of these as a boost regulator. It would help bleed off boost spikes, in conjunction with the wastegate and bov. If the reaction is quick enough, I don't see why we shouldn't run something like that. I think I will actually, I wonder if I can find one for like 8 psi...
