Still do some hiflow injectors, and don't remember ever saying or stating anywhere that I have made a manifold that makes boost at idle, as the point being it is physically impossible to make boost at idle, the engine needs vacuum to be at a state of idle, otherwise revs would be rising. I may however have talked on PF about racecrafts celica, with a 1.32 rear T66 making full boost on their 1GGTE at 2800rpm, the sheer reason being that they used 1" diameter pipes, in a design like I used to make, bt had the 1" pipe running right up through the plate and into the scroll of the turbine housing. Basically, optimised in every possible way for boost as soon as possible, with comprimises to everything else. Some of us grow up over the years and learn from experience and, mistakes, seeing as how you actually have to have a go to make them, others on the other hand sit backand make offhand smart ass comments and act like god, cause, lets face it, if they didn't do it themselves it must be impossible right?? Thanks for all the great replies guys, hope to talk to you all more in the future 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
