hi, im going to drill and tap my inlet manifold so i can fit my megajolt and a boost gauge.

i know i will have to drill and tap for the fitment of a take off on the flattest part.

however, is there an optimum place for this, ie closer to the carb/closer to the cylinder head or does it not matter?

many thanks

dan

not sure about the best place,
but if your using a metro inlet,
as you look at it one the car,to the left side there is a little raised area,maybe from the casting?

i have just drilled and tapped that,seems to work ok,

or you could Tee out from the regulator signal pipe??

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

On most manifolds there is a take off point for the brake servo.
i have drilled a hole in the center of the bolt and tapped it for a small banjo bolt.
I donīt think one place is better that an other but i donīt have the facts to back up my allegation.

cheers for the input chaps. i was looking through my turbo parts earlier and there is a manifold with a banjo for the servo, and a take off added to the top of that. i think i will use this and all a T piece there for the two functions that i require. many thanks again
