Does the car have a Fuel Lab regulator on it? I have had multiple failures with their FPRs and sometimes you can take them apart, then put them back together and they start working again, but I sure wouldn't trust an FPR that fixed itself like that. Your slightly broken fuel line idea makes sense though too, I have had many many cars with a fuel line leak for one reason or anything inside the tank and ran fine until some boost level.
Nope, AEM regulator.

Good thing MAP has openings I guess, sucks i have to drive a bit further but hopefully Friday is productive. Thanks Shane.

Wow, rough night tonight. Got my SSP catchcan installed. Started at 730, finished at 1am. That included a trip to Orieleys and Autozone for parts to plug my manifold spot that isnt used and also helping knoxville install his strut bar. Also some drinks, so not a terrible install, but kind of a PITA, I hate removing the front bumper.

Few pics:









For whatever reason the car feels WAY smoother now, just from this. I am thinking I had some sort of an issue before, but this feels great now. Maybe I jarred something loose on install, but its feeling better now. Now if only I can figure out my fueling...

Ok, bed now, tired. Tomorrow pull fuel assembly.

edit: Oh, few issues on installing...One, there was no self tapping screw for the ground horn, I improvised. Pictures on install notes could've been more clear. Unless I missed something, I had to trim a plastic piece on the bumper (routes air to oil cooler) quite a bit aside from the necessary one attached to the bumper beam...it was hitting my catch can. Also the catch can needed to push against the AC line quite a bit to get into place. Not sure if that is from a motor install issue or what not but threw it all outta whack. Not huge issues but slowed me down for sure.
