Was that the reason?
mail me too

David,
I am trying to weigh up the merits of head work/cams. You mentioned you are sticking with the Phase I heads with I think "light" work.
With the spec of things you are building do you think your UK cams will hold things back?
The last thing I want is a 2.33 breathing through valves with insufficient lift and duration, but don't want more feature creep either. What are you thinking?

hmm, oh dear.
Pukka aeroquip or similar AN-6 hose should be 8mm or so.
I was going to ask for a source of AN/JIC fittings, cheapest I found so far are from www.speedflow.co.uk and Mocal from www.thinkauto.com

I am, I asked for different sized collectors.. primarys are 1.5" and secondary's are 1.75"
Waiting for the flanges for the Garrett and External wastegate...
then I can position the turbo in the correct place and bend and weld it into the correct place..
