    Whew! I thought you meant "Boltons", as in "Michael Bolton"...:vomito:

    Before you drive that thing, you might want to know that it appears that someone dropped a hair dryer in the engine bay...bottom right hand side. Looks like is may be sitting on top of your power steering pump. That thing might make a little noise and affect the performance of your car...:D

    Can you give some more details on the "carb box"? Maybe some more pics. I am just curious about how the linkage passes through. Did you build it yourself? I's really likes me's some turbos's. I'd also like to see your turbo side header. I have a truck I have been collecting parts to turbo charge it. I am done collecting and now just need to take the plunge. Thanks for any info you can share.

    i dont think its a carb box, its a sheetmetal upper on a efi intake.

    I see the injector bungs now that you said that. I thought it was a box surrounding the carb so the boost was inside and outside the carb so you wouldn't blow out seals or collapse the floats. I have read some tech stuff on boosting that way with an unmodified carb. It's supposed to work, but I have never seen it done. I've been trying to learn more about boosting carb'ed cars. I'm not too keen on using the older pull through method and running fuel through the turbo. I even thought about boosting my Maverick, but I doubt that will happen.

    Either way, injected or carb'ed this is a cool project.(y)

    There is plenty of work to do till its on the road for sure. I'm shooting to make it to the 09 National Meet. It's actually an aluminum homemade intake for efi.
