So you trust John D. who was caught red handed by Jeff Stevens stealing parts and supplies from PFS? Not a wise choice if you ask me. I don't think you really know John Duff all that well. I don't either but I know he was caught stealing and I know that people don't change. Once a thief always a thief. Seeing the guy at the occasional car race/meet for the past ten years and enjoying shooting the **** with him does not make him trust worthy. I think John is personalble too. Would I trust him with my car parts? Hell no. He might find someone like yourself who thinks he is a good guy that he could sell them to at a discount behind my back. He is a thief, he was caught and spent some time in jail and there is no disputing that. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you do not really know Peter all that well either. Tell me if I am wrong.

Look, for the sake of this thread if we want to discuss all this BS about JD/ PFS/GMonsen which just so happens to be older than the dirt your grannies undies let's start a thread in the Gen D and try to keep this thread on Topic. I think everyone has stated their view so lets' agree to disagree or start a new thread..

See my point



You did not blow your car up! But word of mouth travels faster than the speed of life in the rotary world.



The sad part of all this is that everyone knows that these cars are very fragile and the least little thing goes wrong they blow up. But yet we all search for excuses as to why they blow up instead of taking the responsibilty.

So what's the problem with a MP and the Purple box?

Yes, i'm running the last revision software. I also run a ProfecB Spec II and I see nothing wrong with my vitals..

Sinful when I wanted a midpipe Peter Farrell talked me out of it - and he is no crook by the way, GreyGT notwithstanding. (I dealt with him since 1994 and was always treated well.)



His point was that between the small wategate and the reaction time of the boost contoller it was asking for spikes with the sequential turbos. He talked me into sticking with my high flow cat.

That's weird. I run a ProfecB SpecII and the spikes are non-existant.. I run a very solid 12-10-12 on a normal basis, and a 15-12-14 on high boost.



I'm beginning to think that the only reason I haven't popped my motor is because of my altitude. Although, the maps on the box I'm running were setup by Wade Landham for all the bolt-ons, including a MP. The previous owners of my purple box reported using a midpipe with no ill effects at a couple of different altitudes.

It can be done but not the safest way to have your car set up. I used my purple box with a mid pipe on NS 15psi for over a year with no problems. You are lucky to not have any boost spikes with a mid pipe and sequential twins. Yes your current set up works. Just like my old set up worked with no spikes at 15psi. Keep in mind that you are on the fringe though. Stock fuel system and a purple box will not deliver enough a fuel if your boost were to spike to 16-17psi. So you better hope, as did I that she doesn't decide to spike unexpectedly or get a dry spot in the fuel supply while under boost.

The first thing that pops into my head is -

How did you run NS with the Purple box?



Second, I am also running Walbro Hi-flow pump. And I never boost that hard under 3/4-tank on the gauge. One of my biggest concerns is fuel starvation, and I try doing what I can to make it easy for the pump to do its job. Maybe it's a lie to say I 'don't get spikes'.. My spikes on the 15PSI setting are 15.4-15.6 PSI.



Now you've got me interested in converting to NS.. Time for a new thread!

I don't see any particular reason to run the pump on high constantly.

I also fail to see the benefit of running constant high. If it switches to high anyway, then what's the difference?
