Chebosto's new instrument. Toot. toot. *Cosworth Plenum*
Hehehee! I can already see the photochops of you blowing that plenum changed to something else! Lol~ :-)
Isn't CF supposed to be shiny? Looks like it got dipped in acid. Hope it doesn't leak. Nice looking plenum anyway.

i forgot to update this
here is my dyno. b4 and after. i posted this up in the other section.
sorry i didnt have time to scan the pict. so i used my camera phone.. the graph before isnt the smoothest, tried to find one of the runs that was before (Black line.. back in may).. and the line in red was same boost level setting (i.e. didnt touch it) and slight retune after the plenum install (done back in july). all was using 91 pump gas. technosq reflash... this was done on technosquare's superflow dyno.. which is about 16% less than dynojet dynos...
you can see from the torque i gained alot in the midrange. and HP pulled all the way to redline..
after this we tuned up the boost even more and got some more power. but the tq and hp lines were similar..

Are you talking about what happened to Luie's Cosworth? That was just a fluke. I have pushed mine over 19psi with out any problems....I know of other that have also.
