I might be able to dig one up. The manifold had 2 50mm waste gates in between hole 5&6 and 1&2, which was combined and was plumbed into the intermediate pipe after the second stg charger. The second stg charger was pretty small so those gates where needed to drop bp and prevent it from over spinning. I actually had regulators in the cab of my truck and could make adjustments on the gates to control the boost. The gate at the end of the intermediate pipe was the one I would make adjustments to the most. I could make it make 67 pounds and no more with the regulater if I wanted.

Heres a cool pic of a tubular exhaust manifold for a compound set up on a 6.7 cummins. Just thought I would share, doubt it would help a marine application much besides in the BLING department!

They did that so all the ports where equal length. Looks good but does nothing for performance.

I'll tell what, I now you're priming me BUT I'll always that that would work great to get on plane after that you can't carry enough to use but would solve the problem.

You needed to look at the old UIM/APBA rules when racing was racing! A diesel boat could not carry anything else but the diesel, you were allowed to start the engins on other fuels but not run the boat on them.

I remember the Italians with the big Isotta's use to spray something other than ether to start them I though it was gasoline?

It works well with diesels. Especially the progressive controllers.

My buddy built this to fog.

Very cool, but how long would a bottle last or how big for a 2 hour bottle?

Hey can you give a quick explanation of what's going on with that exhaust and what compound means? Just looks pretty wild and I am curious what's going where. Thanks
