Technical What do you guys want for the new VTT Valve covers, port wise?

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

So most people know we redesigned the valve covers to make room for all the poorly designed single kits on the market that basically shove the compressor against the valve cover, and while we are here in a redesign, we might as well make some changes for the better. So we are asking what do you guys want? Currently, it is 2 -10 ORB ports in the back, and one upfront passenger side (LHD). For the single turbo guys that front port may be again very close to the compressor housing. So we are going to either move it to the driver side or add an extra port to give people more choices when plumbing them PCV set up. We will include an extra -10 ORB if we do 4 ports. What do you guys want to see?

1. Leave it as it was 3 ports, 2 in back one passenger front
2. Keep it 3 ports but move it to the driver side
3. Add an extra port to open up more routing options for PCV?

Is it possible to move the port to the side wall on front?

Personally, I think leaving it as a 3 port is more than enough - there's already an "extra" port on the actual cylinder head on the front driver's side that can be used for CCV purposes and you guys offer an extra port more than any alternative options as it is. If it's still a clearance issue on the top passenger side for top mount users, I think @doublespaces idea of placing it on one of the sides of the VC (probably driver's so it remains at a high point) may be the best overall solution.

Baffle and OAS design on the rocker sections, or make it modular like the VAG covers. This bay is already cramped, the less external shit the better.
You need to separate liquid and fumes as much as possible before your outlets.

Read it... do the calcs and volume/design accordingly:

An internal baffle would be something, even if it only did part of the lifting

Bigger ports and internal baffle.

Thank you for the contributions.

Is it possible to have your old cast AL valve cover in stock? A few weeks ago you said 3-4 weeks but even after I asked again no one has replied.

What is needed, is an external vacuum, lower cost ATI balancer and a valve cover with a baffled -10 or -12 fitting.

We have not had them in stock for quite a while, we retired that design in favor of the new one that fits with singles better.

Neat, I have another unicorn I guess since mine is still unfortunately in it's original packaging

We sold many like that. We are just implementing the new design into the next batches coming in a few weeks.

A balancer is not needed. The factory balancer is solid.

Wasn't a complaint at all fwiw. I have and plan on staying with upgraded twins, and if I ever for some reason decide to go ST I'll do it right and to bottom mount so no issues here!

 

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

Was just letting people know the new designs are almost done They came out nice. We actually have the new design now in billet. Waiting on the cast ones
