Re: Gasoline...

I work a petroleum processing plant and can say without a doubt that there are a crap ton of gas stations that all use the same fuels. BP, Thornton, Marathon, Clark, 7-Eleven, all pull from our terminal and there are no special extra valves and what not. The only thing the drivers control is the amo...

Maybe if you just made a header with two ports flowing into the turbo and and 2 flowng like an NA exhaust and they join up at a Y where the cat...
