Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build

Looks killer!

So do the actuators on the cut outs open only under positive pressure? Never seen that, so would you just wire it in to a vacuum source or a boost source off the wastegate?

Boost Actuated. Fully open around 10psi. We will see how it goes, but I know that 6 feet of pipe loses significant HP in a turbo downpipe ( Per SLoppymechanics)

Very unique and curious to see how it works. So I'm assuming you would tune with the cut out's open. Tend to see a decent Air/Fuel difference with full exhaust compared to just a downpipe.

Love the build and can't wait to see more.
