Put it like this, 30psi in a bicycle tire is not the same as 30psi in a tractor's tire.

My comment was directed to the post suggesting that our manifold could only take so many psi before it would fail. Also, 30 PSI in a bicycle tire is exactly the same as 30 PSI in a tractor tire, save the difference in volume of air at that particular PSI. I think that's what you were getting at (volume of air).

Yes, like I said, airflow.

My stock turbo evo 8 flowed 42lb's of airflow through the motor at 27psi. The 20g I put on afterwards flowed 46lb's of airflow at 26.5psi. Which do you think was more stressful on the motor?

There were some pictures GTM posted in the other forum several months ago. It looks like cast:

Too bad nothing ever came of it.
