I really looks very fine, congrats. What happened to your booster? Seems that it needs some paint.

Did you installed the electrical gauge inside the cab? does it reads the same that in the regulator?

@ the Fpr = 60. @ the Y fitting (in cab digital) = 65. So I have read outs @ the supply fuel line and the return. Why the difference? Could be one is mechanical and one it electrical?

I also wonder why the difference? Maybe one mechanical and other electrical or maybe because its digital and not analogic IDK, some one else chime in here about that.

I know your not supposed to use it... but never thought of what to do with it unhooked. I'd say cap it... just my opinion.

But if you read it on the internet it must be true! lol

Fuel pressure is going to bleed off when the pump isn't running. Thats normal.

Very nice system and write up. Well done!

Did a quick drive to the store this morning and still from half throttle to full seem like I got nothing. 10psi fuel drop when between half and full throttle. I have a 5 speed keep that in mind. I down hear that turbo whistle near as loud.

Anyone think it could be my TPS. About 1/2 in movement in pedal before acceleration. After half throttle no increased acceleration.

Well took er for a cruise and @ 30mph and 1500rpm. WOT= slow very slow acceleration. And turbo is very quiet. That thing should be screaming!! The truck warmed up to about 1/4 on the temp gauge. She just falls dead on her face. Fuel pressure stays between 62 and 65 PSI. Any ideas as to what is goin on would be great. SOMEONE HELP!!!
