the front one are not as hard as i thought they would be....just get to it man....it only took like 40 mins to do my 2 front ones...this is the first time i have ever replaced springs...so i would say that was pretty quick for a noob...lol

well i just checked my fuel pressure....i took off my hood...and ran a pressure guage to my fuel rail...and i zip tied it in 3 different location so that i would be able to see it while cruising....my pressure is good....i saw 58~59...even under boost....i relayed this info to Vince at Trifecta....

hes going to send me a new file with more fuel up top....if that doesnt work...i might be maxing out my injectors....so stay tuned for more info on this




The engine is off at this point...this is just the pressure that it reads after i turned her off

well with this new file...im running way better down below...but on the top end around 4k rpm...i start to lean out....vince is still workin on it....when im just crusing i see 45mpg...but in boost...i see about 18mpg...a/f is 11.4 under boost and about 14.4~14.7 while cruising..and hell yea she pulls hard as ****....im running 7lbs right now but i get off the gas as soon as i see lean out.....i still havent seen the full potential of this engine

well looks like im stuck for a lil bit...i need to find a scanner that will read the pulse width of my injectors.....Vince said hes is going to implement something into the GT Tuner to help us read the pulse width....so im kinda stuck at this point.....i might need bigger injectors if they are maxed out.....im currently running the 34s...i might need the 42s...but dont know yet....we shall find out in a few days

well looks like 2morrow im going to go get a new 3" exhaust from Jardine Motorsports.....well....im not sure yet...but ill be expecting a call from my cuz.....hopefully he could it up with a good deal...last i heard $150 for the turbo back...but they want to see my car....so mayb they can hook it up 2morrow.....

im running a garrett gt20...all of you need to chill out....when shes ready ill let you know...and yes im running 7lbs now but i lean out towards the top....im workin on getting that fixed...i might need some bigger injectors if for some reason these 34s are being maxed out....but well see Vince is workin on an update for the GT Tuner so that we could read the pulse on the injectors and see if they are being maxed out...that will take a few days...so i have to watch my a/f ratio and not go over 12 while boosting

your tuning program should tell you how much the injectors are being pushed
