4281, I hit 100 miles on my new turbosystem..

....And everything is lookin' good :D
I hooked up a ghetto radio shack voltmeter till Corbin finishes one for me, and I am running really rich. .96-.98 at WOT.
I was having some trouble keeping my fuel pressure to hold, but it seems the problem is solved and I am rich as hell. Before at idle, I would set the fuel pressure around 50, then it would drop down to the low 30s after driving for a little while. its holding nicely now, and stays at 50-55 consistently. I couldn't imagine not being able to adjust my fuel pressure...it seems to incredibly important.
I think I was very lean the day after I installed the kit, because I was keeping up with a Big 16G'd TSi AWD in 1st-3rd gear. Now that I fixed the fuel pressure problem, I am slightly slower, but I feel much safer. I'm still only hitting 3psi though.

You know..its kind of funny...
All I did was connect the crankcase breather to the intake pipe, rig a radio shack voltmeter, and reset the fuel pressure at idle to 52-55psi, and its now holding. As the miles are added to the car, it has slowly built more boost for itself, and the A/F ratio is slowly getting leaner. (more boost = more lean)
So right now I am boosting 4psi and my A/F is around .93-.95
Before, I was boosting 2- 2 1/2psi and the A/F was .98-.99
Go figure...
It all worked itself out. Weird. I still want it to hit 5psi though...not sure why it isn't there yet. Maybe it is slowly working its way up there.
