You might want to check the connection... I haven't hooked up my trans gauge yet and it fails to max. There might be a short in the little harness thing

I don't have e fuel but my mechanical pump idles at 75psi and. Under load drops to 60psi. I have the bb mod but mine was not a bb it was a Mardigra bead it was bigger than a standard bb but it fit perfect I already have around 20k with it and no signs of worn out pump.(knock on wood)

Geez... I guess it is Efuel time.

Gauges are cool but they just tell you what's wrong lol... I just got the boost gauge hooked up today so we'll see how bad my leak is...

I pulled up to my buddy's house and smelled diesel.. Saw this...



Yes. That is a squirt of fuel out from around the fuel pressure sensor... I think. I might have cracked the housing.... I'll know tomorrow when I can see.

So... Any e fuel kit recommendations? I saw the air dog 2 kit on riffraff. I have done no research on it at all

wow that is quite the luck, hopefully that was the pressure problem and not something that just happened to rear its head now. the fitting looks kind of crooked but maybe thats just me... i built mine using Mark Fugazzatto's FPR and regulated return then made the rest my own. ended up being around 450+/-, building one yourself can be a pain and take longer but if anything goes wrong you know the ins and outs of your system.

As far as I could tell, it went in straight... Threaded in just fine, tightened it up, plugged it in, squirts galore.
