Immanuel Kant contrasted experience with reason: "Nothing, indeed, can be more harmful or more unworthy of the philosopher, than the vulgar appeal to so-called experience. Such experience would never have existed at all, if at the proper time, those institutions had been established in accordance with ideas."

So, your argument is that if I find a supplier selling the VENOM injectors for $100/piece that will make them better? Sheesh...

Fuel injectors are little valves and fuel will only flow if the pressure on the one side is higher than on the other.

Can you make one yourself? Sure, I hope you have equipment able to cut and drill 3/8" steel. The turbo flanges are easy. The header flanges are easy. Can you cut and weld steel tubes for the custom manifold? If not, you're not going to find a shop that will do it for under $250.

I hope you don't take offense, but I have limited experience in dealing with with functional illiterates. I have highlighted the passage that you have obviously faild to comprehend:

Explicitly, this means that we have the ability and tools to weld metal parts together.

Which is why the correct approach is to start low and see how far we can push it before our monitoring equipment tells us 'watch it!'.
BTW, are you using a device to shut off the ignition while upshifting? I was thinking, that tnstead of closing the throttle one might 'lift a foot' first to prevent the turbo from surging...
