Well the good news is that I will be keeping my car due to the fact that I would lose more money than what I expected to lose. So the bad news is that I will not be selling any of the stuff, sorry to let oyu guys down, I know how much you guys wanted me to leave.

Well the other good news is that I dyno'd on Sat. and made 245.5 HP and 231.9 TQ. My A/F ratio was an average of about 13.8. So I changed my FMU disc to a larger size and now my EGT's seemed to have dropped, so I think I am running a bit richer which should be better. I will try to post my dyno plots later this week.

So what was your boosting problem? What caused it? Don't tell me your boost gauge wasn't hooked up right. lol

Well that's a very good question, b/c I am still boosting at 2PSI, So as of this point I am still unsure, but with these #'s I am sure I am not pushing 2PSI. I hope to get a lower pulley soon and do some other mods.

I would double check your gauge. Maybe there is a kink in the clear hose leading up to the back of the gauge.

also..

if you havn't already, you should run the vacuum line for the boost gauge from a line that's not all tied up. also like tony said, you could crimp the line if you over tighten the connector at the gauge. have fun.

Well the disc do not have #'s on them like I would have liked them to have, but I did match it up to what I had ordered and it matched up to a 8:1, so I bumped my fuel up to a 10:1 ratio, but the odd think is that Loren with his 4th gen at stock boost he was able to run the 6:1 disc. and I needed to go with a 10:1 ratio. So I am guessing the 5th gens need more fuel or maybe the V2... hmm it is kinda interesting.
