[Supras] 20 PSI and short life on 57 trim CT26

Jeff:


    Have already fired up the car with the hardpipes and Treadstone IC.  
I am aware that the CT26 will not handle 20 PSI boost (to get 15 at the 
intake plenum) and last, given its shaft and bearing size.  I got the 
Treadstone shipped overnight (money, money) after you and others 
addressed my findings about John Lundsford making >400 HP on the stock 
IC.  The hardpipes were made here, from 2-1/4" thinwall steel tubing, 
oxy welded as formerly described.  Hose end beading was done by grinding 
off he aluminizing, tinning the ends, and soldering on wire rings.  
Works well to retain the hoses, but hoses are a PITA to get on in some 
instances.
