@Sportsguy83, I want to say the 30's have a nice meaty boss that can be drilled. Lots of others don't. I should have added a bung when I welded on the the elbow to my housing, now I have one shot to weld one in. I could just tap the elbow but I just don't know if its enough meat to hold the fitting. It would really suck to loose that line under boost, I'm already going with braided stainless reference lines.

No bung, but @mrk1 might be completely on point about having more area to do it.

Yes, but it was tapped towards the end of the outlet. I'll get a pic tomorrow.

mrk1 · 02-08-2014, 09:28 PM

Photo of mine prior to the elbow, maybe that little "L" at 9:00 maybe thick enough, I just don't know

You can always tap your hotside IC piping on the bottom so no one can see. DSM guys used to do this with methanol injection on the cold side, same concept though.

sweet maybe i could do it on the welded on elbow. i was just worried about messing up the housing where it's too thin to tap. i already ordered the quicktap so i'll try that first and go to the housing if it leaks.

Is it a vibrant elbow? I have a spare I will be trying before attempting on my housing.

Good report. On your negatives list as far as ports etc are Revworks addressing this items prior to releasing final production for sales??
