Looks CLEAN man. NICE!
One word of advice. I'd honestly zip tie the vacuum lines to the barbs on that Fuel Pressure Regulator. They see boost, and if one pops off in that chain, your regulator won't see the boost, meaning it won't keep up with fuel demands.
Cliff notes: Run Lean at full boost and bad things happen. For 50 cents in zip ties, it's worth it. Love the setup though. Makes me miss my old turbo trucks

I will send my positive mo-jo as well. You guys have been through hell, but I want the end result to put all the BS in the past. We forget the pain quickly once we have the outcome we were seeking. Lets make that happen today
Next post should read:
It's all sorted out: Turning up the boost, will report back with a 9.X second run next week, peace out

Good prelim news, we are holding boost up to 16.5lbs now but the dread map issue surfaces.
We are trying to work around that to take the boost up past 17lbs. Tony wont give me any numbers yet, but said it looks good... Those words in itself is good enough for me. I should have some more data towards the end of the day.

MAP issue as in "Over-boost / Limp Mode"? I assume you are going to run a MAP clamp or rescale the sensor? I have tried neither, but I certainly found the limit
Looking better, I too am really excited. I KNOW you are minutes away from the final fixes and then we can see what that mad-mamajama can do!!

AWESOME news that the boost is holding now Craig! I hope you guys get the MAP issue nailed so you can turn that wick up to 11!
Glad you are ready for it now. Can't wait to see the track numbers!
