Has anybody replaced the brass crosstalk "T" fitting with a brass elbow fitting?
Here's the reason I ask: I have a MP Inlet Plenum, which does not have the crosstalk fitting. I don't like the look of the OEM "T" fitting capped off on the crosstalk nipple. So I thought I'd replace it with an elbow fitting. After getting the fitting off, I was surprized by what I found. The fitting is not a "T" in the traditional sense. There is a machined restriction in the fitting to the crosstalk nipple. That's not a problem, since I'm not using the crosstalk nipple anyway. Also there does not "appear" to be a connection between the other nipple, and the return plenum side of the fitting. I know that there IS a connection, because I can blow air through it. There is some sort of restriction on the non-crosstalk nipple also, because it takes more effort to blow through it, than if it was a traditional fitting.
So, for those who HAVE replaced the fitting with an elbow, does the UN-restricted vac/boost through the elbow, affect whatever is hooked to it?
