I have an ATS Housing. On 80 with red line attached, I get about 25-26 at WOT. Only about 27-28 psi on 140 smoke. With the line unplugged, I got like 30+ psi and quickly stopped and reattached.

the hot side, im pretty sure I can fix it with the handle of a pipewrench and a hammer (usually how we fix rods on the drill) or something to that effect. then maybe ill find something the same diameter and put it inside to prevent crushing it while I clamp down. I need to find a little pressure regulator somewhere, as I dont have a lowes or a home depot or anything like that at my dispense

lol you should be ok.. but 20 to 25 is all you need to hear a leak...be careful..I went to 40 and the detector popped off and just about took my head with it..it was a loud POP..scared the crap out of me......
