SOmeone explain why you cant use the standard inlet plenum for turboing, im gonna use mine, ive taken the top off it and checked it out, taken the trumpets out and siliconed the top back on..Looks easily strong enough for 7psi :wink:

Pretty flimsy looking, but give it a go and take some pics when it pops :)

mine blew apart at less than 10 psi :D
btu in saying that if you spreed urothan over the joints liberally it might hold togeather

its not atially held togeather by much
ajust a couple of tabs and a smig of urothane

mine split up the side
unfortunatly back whn i turboed mine there wasent any info on it

I am now having 2nd thoughts about turboing mine... maybe the new cams and higher revs may be a better option...
