Yeah i know they explain it really good at that site but i have no clue what they mean with "boost surging"
Another question, i got her tuned at 6PSI, if i manage to adjust the profec to around 10 psi, will that mess up the A/F alot? I need to adjust it to 10 psi before going to the tuner again so i'm a bit worrying about that. ( it needs to be already set at 10 psi before starting the dyno tune )

Alright, just got it around 5psi steady with a spike to 6psi when going on the throttle ( couldnt get this closer to 5... ) its hard and confusing but we will get there...
I tried upping the boost but if i go higher than 7 psi the A/F immediatly are going from 11.5 to 10-10.5 under WOT.. so im guessing the tuner needs to alter the EMU for higher boost..
Another thing, i got the gas HALF FULL and the car felt on its face again while boosting in a SLOW 1st gear FAST LEFT turn ( i died around 4-5K and came back alive when the car was straight again ) is this common???? Im going to a dragon type road soon where are alot of slow speed twisties and i like to find out the cause.. It sure NEVER happened when i was N/A! Sigh...

i think i have a picture of the correct filter on the first page. the angled one is at about a 30 degree angle from the pump and angled up towards the driver side. So if ou were making a hard left turn on low gas, this might be the cause. The filter needs to be flat, at a 90 degree angle to the pump.

why are you trying to get it to 5psi? base boost is around 6psi. You can't set it at a boost lower than what the actuator spring is rated at.

I have a HRC pump with the correct fuel filter.. All brand new..
I self adjusted the wastegate actuator and it turned out to give only 5 psi with spikes to 6psi...

I should watch your A/F's carefully! Mine went bad REAL quick and it started to run LEAN under boost.. Got a HRC pump and it cured my problem and its ALOT quieter!
And better, there isnt a reported malfunctioned HRC to date... Cant say that about a walbro!
Rumors are that walbros go bad pretty quick if you drive alot with less than half a tank of gas...
They also seem to go bad due to the fact that the oem pump wiring is only giving 12.x Volts to the pump instead of the 14.5 it should need to perform at its best..
I changed my wiring, got a HRC and am currently busy trying to get the parts i need for my surge tank setup so the fuel starve on left hand turns and hard 1st gear accel with low amounts of fuel in the tank ( 1/4th to half full )are gone

What oil do you guys recommend?
I'm currently running Castrol MAGNATEC 5w40 fully synthetic but im THINKING on switching to Castrol EDGE 0w40 since that should be a better oil...
Any feedback?
