intercooler hoses wouldn't create a vacuum leak as that part of the system doesn't experience vacuum. The start ya bastard would work around the plenum.
test for boost leaks like described. (I don't think a bike pump would work as there is allot of volume in the system and air does naturally leak past the rings a little)
Maybe we need a pro and cons list.
pros
less pipe work
easier to change plugs
cons
unknown effect on air distribution
better chance of a defect
then it's just a matter of weighing it up.
fair enough. Never thought to look. Any recommendations? came across this, very reasonable price, any thoughts? https://www.easyperformance.com/products/online-store/mode/filter/search/Fuel%20Pump%20Controller
I am very interested in this also. I have been considering making a 2 speed controller run from my eboost 2 boost controller as that can switch based on rpm or boost. Using the factory stuff somehow would also be a good option.
Its moving the throttle body to front of plenum to shorten intercooler piping. pointless as it affects air distribution in the plenum. Nissan spent a while designing it so seems wrong to hack it up
This forum is awesome. The is no trick to get a nut undone without the correct tools. how could there be? Obviously you need to buy the correct tool to do the job!
