Set the base at 60 PSI and run 30 PSI boost, (90 total) and all of a sudden that pump isn't flowing 1/2 as much as it was.
I did the math when I bought mine, at 50psi base pressure + 30-35psi of boost it'll still flow enough to make 500hp on e85.

He must have skimmed past the section on "planning" sponsored by the Milwaukee Sawzall.

Car looks like it's loaded a bit further forward than is really necessary.

The trailer has an issue the the axles being off or something. Loading the car futher back would cause the trailer to fishtail. Thata a diesel e350 doing the towing and I hardly noticed the car and trailer back there. Not having cruise control was the biggest downer. Car is safely in my back yard.

Car is safety in my back yard. The plan is to do a leak down test sometime soon. Then I will pull off the ALLOFIT artech setup. The car will go back to natural aspirated and I will get AC/PS installed. After that I will get to working on building a low mount AC/PS compatible absurdflow manifold. It will go on with the v-band 6758.

Cant wait to see it. the EWG EFR;s are physically large turbos, Im sure it can fit with AC and PS... we will see how well!

I like the disapproving stance of the person in the background.

I made 59X whp (backed up with mid130mph traps in a 3400pound car) at 28psi on e85 with a 45ish base pressure with a single one of those pumps. So again ..he should still have MORE then enough pump with a single on with 93 and meth. Just seems like a waste of effort if hes not in true need of the twin pumps..even more so if its having issues.
Yah well once upon a time I was hoping to get 2394587297834 horsepower so yes you need two pumps for that.

In reality I think I was limited by the intake side and probably the cams. Needed bigger IC piping. Bigger throttle body. Better manifold. Big cams. All that stuff is standard for 600hp+ 4 cylinder builds. When I was running 40psi I am quite sure that the car was not pushing 600hp...

Now, see, this is good stuff. Vestiges of an older MT.net, back before Fae was banned for failing at seeking ALLOFIT glory and before Hustler became a pedal pusher.

Putting a smaller turbo on the car doesn't fix the problem of titling it in California. How do you plan on solving this problem?
