Starlet__SR Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 You'll still get boost creep, it'll help matters but not by much. Are you still running the standard manifold too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 if you port it enough should solve boost creep. Mine did. Shut the penny and mark around the outside. Then port as close to the line as you can i left about a 1mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Use a coarse bit to remove most of the material, then a sanding wheel to tidy things up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just a bump up did you put anything inside to stop all the crap going in please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I used play dough to seal the exhaust wheel and stop any shavings going in, the front I used tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Oh maybe I'm thinking wrong here mate, I always thought you just shaved off the hole, behind the waste gate penny and that's it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Oh maybe I'm thinking wrong here mate, I always thought you just shaved off the hole, behind the waste gate penny and that's it?That's the main part of it. Always helps to dress up the cavity inside so it can flow a little better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to know if I will be able to lower the 2&3 custom exhaust mani restrictions without ruining it. The restrictions are the stud bumps that shouldn't be lowered.
