I'll say it before anyone else does...

1) Welcome to the site!
2) Make use of the search facility!
3) You can reasonably easilly modify any HIF into 'Blowthru' spec. You've little change of getting the old HS carbs to work with blow-thru however.

Here is the plumbing side of it for you... Nice and easy there!



You'll need to source a plenum or make one - you'll find information on making a plenum in the 'How To' section - in fact - almost all your answers are in that section. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vf&fid=5

Nr. 3 and 5 at the picture: "I personally block this pipe off".

Dave, I think here you have connected the two pipes (isn't it?):

Is there a difference between connecting and block off?

I also want to block off, because at Nr.5 is need the place for my new intercooler-pipe/plenum-construction.

Regards,
Andreas

Just because the pipe is present doesn't mean that it is connected.... *wink*

Fuel pump- either use the metro turbo type pump (available new, try avonbar or others) or use the injection fuel tank with integral pump from a later injection mini.

Fuel Pressure- set at 4psi with pump running engine off. Then with the correct turbo fuel pressure regulator you should see the fuel pressure stay at that 4psi above whatever boost pressure is.
