Not withstanding these leaks, The core is working to my level interest and now I will be hooking it to my car to show the water restrictions or the stock and parallel Garrett intercooler unit.

I did this in water to confirm the cores integrity at up to 100 psig after reworking it and now will use it to actually measure the water flow in gallons per minute.

This is the original IC that I have cut up and played with.

Enjoy the weekend. Woody
You will not see a good weekend if that thing explodes, that is a bomb.

When 100psi of air is let loose it explodes violently, test it with a simple hydraulic pump with water instead of air. That set up could kill you.

Water under 100psi will go off very lightly by comparison.
