It was also handy to see if it was going to fit. As I will eventually be using a flaper valve to feed my new plenum.
At the moment off boost the engine breathes through the intercooler a long length of pipe and then the turbo. The idea of the flaper valve is so off boost it would breath as normal. As soon as boost goes above atmospheric it closes the valve. And the turbo dose it’s job. Simples!
I may also try and play around with a rudernentry antilag system. First used on way old turbo rally cars. Where I would have an additional TB that closes off the feed to the compressor allowing the compressor to spin freer/quicker off throttle.
