20 psi of fuel pressure not good?
 
I just put in my fuel pressure gauge and it's reading 20 psi. That's way low right? The fuel pump is pretty new. Do you think it's my filter? It seams that 13 psi of boost just keeps getting father and farther away. To top it all off my clutch slipped last night.:confused: :confused:

where did you put the gauge?

timhill78 02-12-2007 03:53 PM

Right by the FMU. Is it safe to drive?

Braineack 02-12-2007 03:53 PM

No gauge yet, he helped me set up my vortech fmu with that same diagram though, mine was set up backwards.

yeah, 20 PSI was your return line back pressure... seems high actually.
