defuel

Hey fellow FTE'ers,
I've read a hundred time about the overboost regulator for the map sensor. Now with my setup, injectors and max chip, would I still be defueled? Because I get that code all the time, just about everytime I start from a stop. . . because my right foot likes it so much. I just wonder, because I have felt a loss in umf at the top end, i wonder if its defueling?

What double post

The more you modify, the more you need to keep that SES light off. I would definitely recommend you put a MAP regulator on it.

Well, thats all I need to hear, I have ordered the regulator from dieselsite and its on wheels. I'm interested to see if it makes a difference.

Most of the time you won't notice any difference, but it may surprise you how much harder it pulls on top.

On my particular truck, I noticed a difference. It sure stopped the defueling and more noticeably no spike in egts due to running lean, I guess.
