Tell me this ACR... how the hell do you heat a paper clip and make it exactly half of the same size of the original?.. do you mean he started with a 1/16th inch, then heated it... and then it made a hole that was 1/8th?... cause the other way would be impossible....acr2nv said:

Okay here is what I did in detail. There are three openings to the T Valve, 1/4", 1/4" and the 1/8" bleed. The 1/8" was too big of a hole because it was hitting peak 20psi so I thought if I made this hole smaller, the PSI would decrease. First I had to find some kind of wire that was smaller than 1/8". I tried a paper clip but it was a littler bigger than I wanted. I settled with a thumbtack. I pulled out the metal tip and it is pretty close to 1/16". I slid the metal tack point into the 1/8" hole, sitting half into the 1/8" hole and half out (do not puncture the valve). I then proceeded to hold it above a candle momentarily, off and on. As the plastic warmed up, I used a pair of wire crimpers to squeeze the soft plastic. I kept experimenting with this until I had the hole to my liking. If the hole closes up too much, you can use an exacto blade to enlarge it. Jsut call me MacGuyer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or you could use the simple and just as cost effictive solution I posted on the WRX boards about a year ago.
You do your standard Bleeder Tee mod, but on the section open to atmosphere (the bleed hole), connect a short section of boost hose. Buy a small hose clamp for $0.10 and clamp the open end of the hose as tight as it will go. This will bleed virtually nothing. Keep loosening it with a nut driver until you achieve desired boost. Adjustable bleed type MBC for $1.10

it has nuthing to do with the guage and yes id did hit 20psi on some cars but Terminator's ride and another local guy's car both run 16-17psi with a 1/8 bleed others cant match that. Whats funny is the only two cars that it has worked on are both yellow and the ones that dont are all black...hmmm. Anyhow with a 1/16 you are all set 1/8 you are at your own risk

I like how in the 'after' video you weren't wearing a seatbelt. I guess you were just so excited to test it, eh? hehehe.
Bravo on the video. We should make a little stop-action video of a t-valve assembling itself (like that old dancing tools movie from elementary school haha).
