So I don't know much about FC's fuel control but I posted earlier about my boost problem and my boost just stopping at anywhere from 2-4psi. What are the chances that it's fuel related? Fuel filter? Something like that?



I'm doing silicone hoses and gonna inspect everything tuesday... just wanted to see what you thought of this.

does it rev out all the way to redline? 2-4 psi is either going to be a MASSIVE boost leak, or your turbo is seized up.
