If you didn't see the other thread, the SC Install is done.
2 problems persist however:
FP Guage only goes to full reading when turned on..seems to be a short somewhere...we rewired the whole thing, and no luck...
Boost with the 3.25" pulley hsould be 9lbs at redline, but we're only getting 6. Spent alot of time looking for vacuum leaks with a hose being used as a stethoscope.....everything seems fine....

The big hex screw in the middle is for the base fuel pressure. The little **** on the side is for flow rate. Yes, you can hook this up since it's mechanical.
As Matt suggested in the other post (General forum - EGT gauge), don't play with the FMU until you're on a dyno that can monitor your A/F ratio.
Good luck!

SC is installed.
But I'm only getting 6 lbs of boost at Redline. We took the car to a shop and had a tech look at it and test the vacuum lines/system to make sure there are no air leaks in the hoses. We then tried 5 or 6 different settings on the FMU with no luck.
Also, the belt is perfect and torqued properly.
Also, Loren told me he got 40-70 PSI of FP between idle and WOT.
Mine never goes under 45, or over 55. Could this have something to do with the boost?
I don't know what else to try, and some people suggested I contact you.
At the Dyno, I tuned the A/F to be 12.1:1, so at least that's settled, for now.....
And I got 231hp on the car with my MEVI turned off.
This is somewhat comparable to Loren's car, except he has a 5-speed and Exhaust, I believe. He got 280 or so hp.
That doesn't make sense. I know I'm Auto, but that's a big gap.
Thanks!
