Don't you hate when that happens? That's why I take everything I hear with a grain of salt, as most of it is bullshit. You have to set up a good bullshit filter so you'll know what information sounds unreliable...

Hey Andy,

Are you running that electric FP gauge into the EGR or an in-cab gauge?

The parts to run it thru the EGR are about $120 whereas with the gauge it's around $200.

Personally I think thru the EGR would be better since then I could log it with EFI live.

Going back to the shop in the morning and hopefully I can get that squared away. Then the Bosch 044 inline can go on.

Going to cut the aluminum into 2.5-3" strips, drill a 1/4" hole on one side, bend the other side down about 45* and mount it over the fuel rail to hold it down. On the drivers side Im going to make one longer and have it 90* up and mount the fpr to it. And use the wire to help hold it down because I doubt zip ties will last long with the heat.

Have a slight leak on the #6 injector. the O-ring had a small nick in it. Going to have to get a new one. Fuel pressure is steady 58psi with the vac hose removed and 50 with it attached. Where it was about 44psi before. and its nice to see the fuel pressure go over 60 when boost comes in. Going to try and get the Bosch 044 installed and wired up tomorrow.
