suck thru - decrease in boost build?

[Phreakish]

Okay, laying awake late last night after far too much tea too late in the night... I was thinking (uh oh). The suck-through system on my T1 really puts a restriction on the turbo (I would think), which would cause a delay in the building of boost when I hammer it...

With this in mind... I was thinking (uh oh) about the possibility of adding a 'secondary'. Basically just a big (huge) controlled vac leak that would give the effect of a larger TB without having to actually swap TB's (I'm cheap, and the T1 electronics are prohibitive with the AIS).

Good idea? Bad idea? I can't decide, I didn't sleep long enough cuz I was thinking too much... again...

I gained 2-3 psi of boost when switching to my 46mm tbody from the 43mm one. I've been thinking about dual 43mm tbody's, that would be cool.

Stop thinking too much and put on a later intake, then all your problems will go away,
That is until you find more,

hahaha. Good point, I just dont have a later intake for THIS car yet... Just trying to think of ways to improve performance with what I got for now I want to decrease boost build time even more, and really get the jump on the rice...

I'm planning on putting a spearco into my rampage which will free up a T2 IC for me... then I'll put a new intake on the charger and really have some fun The turbo on the charger is already notched for the new intake too
