Just remember that when you are performing research on the internet you should validate your findings in a few places and from well respected and documented sources.

From a fuel flow perspective, overrunning the stock mas isn't the worst thing in the world, but it is still bad. It present a tuning issue when trying to calculate injector size and also makes it difficult for the computer to dial in fuel trims as two things are happening
1) The injector size is not the same as you've "published" in your dsmlink
2) The injector size changes inconsistently based on fuel consumption.

Generally speaking, new fuel setup + new components = difficult to manage unless you've been there and done that before.

Good luck next time.

Thank You! Ill keep that in mind. A lot more planning will go into the next steps to recovery. Sucky tthis might of been preventable had i asked more question's instead of looking up a few things and winging it. Lesson learned once again thanks everyone for the constructive pointers and where i went wrong ect!
