hi guys

I have read from some old std posts that some guys
do the drilling of air fittings...to equalize a bit of garret boost?

I assume that you (I) have to drill banjo bolt back on manifold and one on alda a 1mm or so, wider and put a bit wider hose..say 4 or 5mm?

correct?

why I wanna do it....I have a loooong turbo lag and sudden heavy boost


thanks


cheers

I don't think it would alleviate the lag. It would alleviate the suddenness though.

Have you looked into the higher stall torque converter? Might help with lag.

The 1985 torque converter had a higher stall speed, allowing the engine to reach higher rpm faster, which will lessen the lag.

Check your ALDA lines as well-they may be dirty and partially clogged,

or

Adjust / remove the ALDA so that the fueling curve is a bit smoother

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

Significant fuel usage if you always mash the pedal Big Grin

A small, GENTLE adjustment may help you

Try adjusting the ALDA It only affects off boost fueling

thanks guys,..

ALDA has been already adjusted also..."until smoke appears"
a year back.... basically I don't have a weak power problem,......

sudden (power) boost is issue I would like to resolve Smile

some KKK turbo might help Smile

I just found this one considering lag:

A downpipe with a smaller inner diameter offers less airflow, slightly reducing top-end horsepower. However, the smaller pipe diameter increases the speed of exhaust flow, thus allowing your turbocharger to spool faster, increasing response and low-end power.


is this true?
how to do calculation how much HP I will lose with 2 inch pipe instead
2.5 inch which I have now?

I would keep the 2.5" downpipe. Do you have a boost gauge installed?

have one 5 bar 1st class rated, not installed yet....will tee soon

if above theory is correct I might consider 2 inch with muffler only
I dont use top speed anyway... so 5 or even 10 mph lost is ok..
