I was planning on a suck through setup using my Weber 45 but have decided not to bother as I have leaned towards utilising these.

What do you think will be the pros and cons of turbing through these twin 38s?

suck through so no need to seal?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

Sorry chaps. I should have corrected my first post I was leaning away from the suck through webber setup and thinking of the more traditional Metro blow through setup.

Well I was offered these and was liking the thought of faster flow through the smaller throats to aid better low down pull, where the 44s may be a little sluggish

I'd like to see a Twin HIF38 turbo.
