How do you regulate how fast the pressure is sent back into the blower hosuing? Size

I do agree however, making some of the edges smoother and rounding corners will help.

I wouldnt try it... to weld aluminum you'd have to put so much heat into it, you most certainly would distort the highly toleranced bores. Especially welding in that area.

Well worth my time doing this. Cheers to all

I have a friend that works at Manacharger and owns there dyno. I have another blower housing coming and I will see how much you pick up with just the inlet ported. And then do the out let and see the diff between the two.
