A long time ago, before I know you had to put super-torque on the Wilwood bleeder screws, I had a small brake fluid fire so every-time I smell brakes, I freak out and waste a lap obsessing. It's pretty sad.

Jeezus, are you new to this turbo thing? Thats normal. And your gauges, you shouldnt have put them in with your condition. Run the car and dont worry unless you see, hear, or smell something strange. (that isn't related to your farts) as for de3, shuiend, this is texas, we do what we want. I run de3 whenever I miss a tt session or need to make a few test laps. Wouldn't make sense to run in de4 though, as they are out with tt most of the time in these parts.

I never shared this and found it today. Here is a comparison of the factory fuel pressure regulator against the Fuelab regulator.
Factory:
Fuelab
Note: These tables are only tuned up to 184kpa.
The big difference in driving was that AFR hits the target every time, every lap, 11.7:1 at 12psi...every time. Before, I'd see fluctuation from 10.8-11.8, and tuned for 11.5 accordingly. Now, I can run the 11.7 target and it hits those numbers. I suppose there is less "float" with this regulator.
It's also a little sad to see these cute, little 12x12 tables. I want to get MS2 on both cars now. Maybe this summer I'll do an MS3 job on the turbo car and convert to sequential fuel, maybe even do LS1 coils too. Then again, the car drives fine and gets the job done. I should probably do it now so I can get something for my MSpnp1.

I've been throwing around the same idea but i am too lazy to deal with the extra complications of ms2/ms3. Same reason I don't have vtps either. The car runs well enough.
I see you had the same afr fluctuations in boost that I have, this makes me feel better about my car lol.

FYI:
Green Glory Hole is now my daily driver, lol. Only two cops paced me today. When I parked today someone at work let me know that it sounds like I have a huge vacuum leak, lol.

When it does work fine it is within 10 degrees of what TS reads my temps as.
