SO... i had issues earlier in the season with my header/motor flange warping, had it machined smooth and WOW, the same boost levels were a LOT more powerful then with it leaking. ran good for a while, i noticed some cracking in my header, so i took it off and did some major welding on the collector part of it.. NOW i noticed that the flange on the motor side is warped(presumably from the intense welding) I dont want to get it machined again as I feel like im just going backwards then making it so much thinner..
My thought was to cut the flange between each cylinder so that it can mate properly.. there is a genlte warp across the whole thing and there is no way the tiny little bolts are going to suck it back in as a whole, but as peices it might come together nice?? Hate to destroy a $60 flange, but man, my boost is so freakin inconsistant and weak right now. I have to run like 20+ psi in the flats to get it to hold 13/14 in deep mushy spring snow..this isnt helping me nail down my clutching at all!
