right now i am running the 00 fuel damper in place of the FPR, car runs but no where near the power i should see (car is slower than before swap) and fuel mileage sucks. When i hook up the 96 or 00 FPR, hard starts, the car hesitates and is starved for air, full throttle the car does not go anywhere and is very jerky. I have had diagram after diagram and i can find out what the problem is, i read some guys had this problem and realized they mixed up some hoses but i cant seem to find the problem, and i dont think i have intake leaks. Any help or anyone in the NY area did the swap that can help me out.

 

did you check the vacuum hose going to fpr

 

For one, if you had a vacuum leak you would hear it. You may have the hoses hooked up backwards somewhere though. Did you follow any instuctions of the people that have installed the 00VI?

 

i hooked up the vacuum of the FPR straight to the intake manifold. I have a huge exhaust leak coming from the rear header gasket i will fix soon, the reason i want to get this done cause i want to dyno and see if there are any gains on a 00vi w/SR headers
