If it’s running a steady 58psi or whatever at idle, your FPR isn’t gonna be your problem…

It’s steady 58 at idle… I know the leak is in the canister… what a fucking pain in the ass…

Yeah, I’m gonna try and pressurize the fuel line with an air hose to see if it holds pressure outside of the tank first… I bought the AGP return kit used, FPR may be fucked up… If it holds outside, the only thing I can think of is a bad fuel pump…

Did you see my other post about the checkvalve in the pump so that you don’t lose pressure when the pump is shut down? Mine bleads down too, just not that fast…

I’m going to connect a fuel pressure gauge to the thing and run it in-cabin so i can see whats going on while driving. If its just a bad check valve, I don’t give a crap, it has no effect on the function of the pump, just starting after it sits for a while, which i dont really care about.

Did you do your clutch yourself? That one bolt on the back side of the tranny above the intermediate shaft was a fucking whore…

Why was the turbo install so bad?

Yah, my wife ended up reaching down from the top for a couple of the bolts… don’t know how they are removed from the bottom!

The turbo kit was pretty straight forward, and pretty simple, it just took a LONG time. I’m not good at just slapping things together, so when I ran into a exhaust manifold bolt that didn’t seem to screw in just right, I’d take it back apart and clean it out… just kinda anal about making sure things are right. If I had to do it all again it would take half the time… seems to be that way with everything though. My first stock turbo swap took a couple hours… by the fourth one I had the old one off in 18 minutes, and the new one installed and working in 20 more… Only hard part was the little copper washers on the oil and coolant lines. I went and bought a pack of 20 of them… that made the job faster.
