Evo X upgrades

[C3L1CA]

The 044 should be more than enough to get over 450 @ DB on corn unless the evo x fuel system is a lot crazier than a dsm. I know all sorts of DSM that max out a high pressure 255 pump @ 450awhp on DB's dyno. I've made 520 with more fuel left with just 255 and a bap.

It kind of sounds like a wiring problem to me. I wish you luck, you deserve a fuel system that works after spending on that money.

Every vacuum connection on the car is zip tied. I have an in-car fuel pressure gauge so that's an issue I'd notice right away. Without the fpr hose you'd be below 40psi at idle.

That's something that I've spent time on since it doesn't cost anything. I have both pumps running off of Bosch relays with power right from the battery. Since the X battery is in the trunk, we're talking a couple feet from the 044 right now.

Like I said, obviously not related to your fuel issue, but in the picture you can very clearly see the BOV vacuum line is not secured on the nipple. I never said anything about your FPR.

I'll take another look the next time I'm down there. The nipple on that particular BOV is gigantic and it's tough to get the line on it (which also makes it unlikely to come off).

I just replaced all of the lines on Friday when the surge tank was installed--nearly 35 feet of braided hose (cha-ching).

The only lines I had wondered about were the hard lines from the fuel tank area up to the engine bay. Obviously that's improbable but we did find a fair bit of that black goop on the injectors at one point.
