[Diy_efi] "Wet" Manifold Questions

[Stephen Andersen]

If all I wanted to do was modify and maximize my own car, that
would be great.  My ultimate goal is to develop a kit which 
I can market and sell, if I can ever get there.

I would probably end up with a Stage I and Stage II kind
of setup with different boost and compression ratio for 
different power levels.

I am convinced that intercoolers "really work" even on low-boost
applications...
