i let mazzoo use mine on his twin turbo gt37r Z pushed beyind 20 psi and it did not leak

Then I know for sure the cosworth is strong....that car was putting down the numbers.

Did they use your cosworth for testing vs stock ?? Or just to get big numbers??

Thanks Mike! Yea, either me or Sharif will create a build thread with plenty of pics when the car is done. Should make some good power with the Cosworth, JWT C8", and some headwork

I'll take a pick at the G when I'm there. Im sure it looks amazing like always. Something special you have done with the interior?

Sorry for the OT, congrats to the OP. Thanks for the graphs too, there havent been many with the Cosworth. Look like the mid range really picks up some power.

That is much higher than most of us will ever be running. Nonetheless, that makes 2 "flukes" (although I think Luie experienced leaks more than once, but I could be wrong).

Injected Performance had the video of their run (when the end cap blew off) on YouTube, but it looks like they pulled it.

I think that is a great idea. The carbon fiber looks cool, but the aluminum would probably be significantly stronger.

It would also be nice to test different end cap sizes. I mean that's the whole point of having removable end caps, right? If you just have one size, you may as well have manufactured a single sealed unit from the factory.

I did not consider that one because as you said..the psi is way more than we would use... So Luie is still the only one that I know of so far.
