How bad is having ext WG on 2 cyls of manifold only?
I know having it on ONE can be pretty bad (Drag manifold I think right?), but how about 2?
The reason I am asking is that I am considering converting my HKS B-series manifold to allow for an external WG. The HKS is similar to the Greddy in that it has 2 cyls "seperated" all the way until the flange. Yeah, I know the BEST would be to have the flange where all 4 merge, but that just ain't gonna happen.
Pease don't post telling me it would be easier to get manifold X or Y - I have this manifold and it's very easy to weld on a $15 Tial flange and be done with it. I want to know if I will have big problems with creep and spiking like users of the Drag manifold report (that has the WG flange on #1 cyl only).
Geoff or Viren? Anyone?
I can post a pic of where it could go if it would help...remember, I want to do this to get RID of creeping/spiking from an internal WG. But I ain't gonan do it if I'm gonna have the same probs except with a fancy ext WG...

2 will be fine as long as its not really a super high hp setup. I've had a manifold where the WG ran off of only 2 runners and it didnt cause any problems.

Boost level...
...will be 6psi to no more than 10psi on a B16A. Besides, the HKS and Greddy manifolds are pretty dinky to begin with, so I doubt they would handle much more than that (same with the turbo).
Sweet, thanks for the answer - now I can finally use my Tial! Heeel yeah
