  1. CPR is great to know (we do training here at work every two years) but the thing you have to remember when making the decision to give someone CPR is that once you start...you can NOT stop until said person comes around or an EMT is there to relieve you (there is a law I believe for this)...you can not make the decision on saying "This person isn't going to make it, so I will just stop". I think longest CPR session was around 20some hrs with 4 or 5 people, they just kept alternating.

    There is no law against someone stopping as long as they are NOT a paid or volunteer provider, the general public is covered under the "good Samaritan law" which releases the general public against any liabilities as long as they are acting in the best interest of the injured person. It was enacted to encourage the public to initiate and provide some care until EMS providers arrive..... Now if they (professional EMS providers) assume care and CPR is continued, then they must have permission from a physician to stop.

  2. Valid points to both comments. I talked with a guy at hondoctor today and his recommendation was to place it on the cold side so the airflow is continuous in one direction and will evacuate faster minimizing what he referred to as a "vein hammer". He said because I am running minimal boost then it shouldn't be a problem with heat soaking. If I intend on running 16 lbs or higher then place one pre and post intercooler.

  3. I'm putting an intercooler on my honda 3.5, was reading on placement of the BOV and there seems to be pros and cons as to where to place it. Hot side to blow off highest pressures and temps (as to not heat soak the intercooler) cold side to keep air flow moving in the same direction and to blow off highest density of air as well as blowing cooler air through the BOV to make the diaphragm last longer..... I am looking for some input to see what others are using and what works for them..... Thanks in advance.

    Sure do miss Bert, one phone call and would have got what I needed!
