  1. Be careful if you choose to powdercoat your aluminum parts as the curing can diminish the strength of the part. this is well documented for Al wheels. If you want to anodize on the cheap you could try doing it yourself. http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/anodize.shtmlhttp://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/anodize.shtml
  2. Very, Very informative. Now, how far from the compressor and at what angle should I make the recirc re-enter the inlet? Is there a particular model and year of Porsche that I can research to see how they do it? Thanks again Chris
  3. Take note of how the epoxy is used on the frame above. The metal is bent and the epoxy is applied to the tab. Lots of surface area for the bond. While I believe that an epoxy will work in this application I do not think it will be permanent. You would have to make it so the flange had more surface area in contact with the intake pipe if you wanted it to be permanent. CD
  4. Tony I believe you. I have read enough posts to know that you know what you are talking about. I have looked, and I can not seem to find any information on why wrc cars etc vent to atmosphere. Some enlightenment here would be nice. I suspect Porsche vents to the intake for many reasons. Noise, emissions regulations are two that I can think of. FYI, I plan to recirc my BOV to minimize noise. I happen to be fond of quiet when I can get it. As far as exhaust pressure goes it seems that will depend on many things. My intuition is to think that it would be higher than the intake since everything that is coming out came in etc and we can not forget that the fuel that was previously a liquid is now more gas. Now, given the right size exhaust the difference may not be worth worrying about. Chris
  5. Tony I get the pinwheel concept, but it seems that what is really going to happen is that you will be just adding load to the compressor wheel by presenting more gas at the impeller or you will simply blow the air back out of the air filter. Given this thought it seems we are really just equalizing the pressure between two volumes of gas. I this why the high end cars choose to vent to atmosphere? Six I was thinking that when the throttle plate was closed the gas pressure in the exhaust would fall. I have no idea what kind of pressures would happen or how long it would take for the pressure to fall (too long I suppose). Excellent point about backflow. Thanks for the responses. Chris
  6. Kind of a backwards EGR. My thought is that when the throttle plate is closed the gas flow stops and thus the turbo spools down. Why not send the recirc to the exhaust to keep the gas velocity up and to minimize spool down? (assuming you are not running a MAF or AFM) The only thing I can think would be a big issue would be fuel metering with an O2 sensor might fluctuate. Seeing an artificially lean condition. I suspect there is no real advantage here as I can not find any mention of such plumbing. Please let me know what you think. Thanks Chris
