how do I bring the pressure down when boosting? the regular FMUs you change the disc to 4:1 this SFMU is huge and they dont make a 4:1 huge disc, Do I have to bleed off the rest of the FP when boosting to get it to run right?

I don't own one, but from what I have read, this is correct. You can adjust the slope of the rise rate by bleeding off boost pressure.

I thought SFMU's didn't use disc's? I thought they were adjustable down to 2:1 using a setting screw?

Buy a cartech FMU and be on your way, it's so much better and so much more adjustable. (except baseline of course)

How is it better? I would think having a FMU and FPR in one would be a much better way to go.

I dont understand those directions! It dont point out like this button is to do this. This is how you do this etc..



Jason, I now have 370's. I need to lower my base FP. This SFMU does use three different types of discs. I guess I ll have to invest in that bleeder valve then for it to equate 4:1 FMU like the regular one. This SFMU has way more ways to adjust the FP unlike the cartech.
