What are the little tweaks you can do the metro turbo engine that make a difference?
Match exhaust ports, knife edge dividers, enlarge exhaust elbow.
I'm talking about the little things that make a difference.

You could probably write a book on that. Dont go knife edging your inlet ports if thats what you mean tho. Thats not how they work.

I gave turbo phil my exhaust manifold and elbow, there's a lot of gain to be made opening up the elbow i believe. If you have vizards yellow bible you can probably pick up on quite a lot in there you can apply to the engine to increase its efficiency.

No I meant the exhaust outlet on the cast manifold

That's was why I was thinking the little tweaks can make a big difference

Ahh yeh i know what you mean now. You can always turn the boost up :)

Was thinking if I made the little tweets to up efficiency, I could keep the boost down and not risk the engine?
Does that make sense ?

Tony

Makes perfect sense, more ponies per psi. In other words you can up the power from having exactly the same boost settings.
