Default Alternative to Procharger Plenum?

Guys, as alot of you know Im having boost problems with my Procharger set-up. Come to find out I have numberous holes in the Plenum I had fabbed up at a local shop . But Im not 100% sure (as quite a few others on here) that its my only problem. I dont really want to drop the money for a new plenum untill Im positive that its my problem (once I figure this out Bob at EPP will be getting a call for my new plenum). Has anyone on here made a Y fitting or something that kinda takes the place of the plenum so that I will know if the plenum is in deed my problem or not? Any imput on what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Blake

Thanks guys,

Urban Legend..thats some nice looking stuff but I'm looking to stay away from spending alot of $$ until I determine what my problem is 100%

Bad30th..That looks good, I had one fabbed up out of Aluminum at a Local shop but the guy MIG welded the dang stuff and it turned out super duper crappy! Holes everywhere...

Any more opinions?

1. Either have Bob help you out and get a new plenum
2. You know the pipe that seperates the boost from the head unit.....I have seen that used instead of the plenum
3. Ask around the forum for a polished ati plenum (I got mine for $50) and I powdercoated it

I have a split ATI aluminum plenum I'll sell you for cheap if you want it. It needs to be welded along the bottom where it split with ~11psi. Or I can try to get it welded here first if you like...

Have you thought of JBWelding the holes on the plenum? I know it is ghetto but it should hold together enough to test the plenum.
