A person told me that you could not solder it up close because you will burn the foam inside, even if you cool it down.He told me i must leave the brass float as it is,and as long if i dont boost more than 8-9psi it will not crush.Is this true????
or is he bulls***ting me?.Any info please.
Thanks for info REVHED,i wanted to go that way but then i heard this,what do you think?

Robert @ rotary shack found a better expanding float that will work better for a brass float. Maybe he can hook you up.
I just received my custom turbo manifold which will allow me to run any intake (downddaft or sidedraft). For now, I'm getting a IDA hat from him and at the same time, he will work in the brass float. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I can make suggestions on which carb (IDA, mikuni, holley, weber dcoe/dco) will work best for carb turbo set-up.

As far as I know, all IDA's came wtih brass float. As far as boost, I cant really tell you at this time since I dont have a low compression rotors. Im installing a S5 turbo on a 4port 13-B big streetport with GSL-SE internals, many mods but not dowelled.
