Another small block turbo early valiant

From what I have seen, on a blow through, an intercooler is not at all necessary on a mild boost system, or on one moving a ton of fuel (like E85) as it completely cools the boosted charge.
I am curious myself about whether twin or a big single wastegate is the best route, but the argument the gasses are smaller when hot does not make sense to me, air and many gasses expand when hot, so I would want more clarity there.

I am doing a single turbo, non-intercooled, blow through with the carb in a box, but as a mild daily driver (hoping for mid 12’s)

loving how clean your car is and all the work is top notch
