Im looking to boost prep my 51ida weber (7-10psi max on stock s5 turbo). From what I read I need to do 2 things for sure.*
1. Vent the fuel bowl into the carb hat so it sees the equal pressure. (Line from fuel bowl to carb hat area?)
2. Swap the brass float for a plastic float. Because the brass float will crush above 6psi. The plastic float is good until 20psi.
Other things I have read are unclear. Its obvious that i need to seal any and all areas that can leak. But what areas do these include?*
1. What else besides the "hat" needs to be a sealed?
2. Do I have to seal the throttle shaft?
3. Is there any other modifications to the weber that need to be addressed?*
I have everything else ready to go. I just want to be sure I get my weber in order before setting it all up.
