Common practice to drill it out or remove it as now your not reliant on the swirl pot. If you play with it, you'll have potential issues back at stockMy 2c? KPM intank setup is a better option anyway Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89635-precess-west-surge-tank-too-much-pressure/#findComment-1514114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skids4kids in the mid....not the bum like some Member 609 Member For: 12y 23d Gender: Male Posted 25/11/14 12:06 PM Share Posted 25/11/14 12:06 PM Twin 460s using a 5/16 return is not at all optimal for cruise/idle conditions.Remove the one way valve in the factory basket on the return line and also fit a -6 return minimum.Surge is most likely seeing some decent pressure also.
