1300cc secondary injectors will ensure you run rich at high load and RPM. Probably way too rich. Cost about $350.



Instead of buying one of the most expensive boost gauges on the market, you could have saved that extra money for the PFC. Using a $60 Autometer temporarily wouldn't hurt anything. The PFC has proper boost control and displays your boost, negating the need for a gauge in the first place.



Funny thing is how many things you have before you found the fuel cut. My car would cut fuel at 5000 RPM in third gear after installing only an intake
Thanks for the link Tyson..

BTW, it's a DEFI D-Gauge. Not the Link system. (I said I'm poor, dammit!)

I hear ya! They are a bit cheaper.



Cheapest thing is to put some of the stock stuff back on until you can afford the Power FC.

Negative, Ghost Rider.

I'm gonna do the home depot version and tone down the boost until I've saved enough for a PFC or at least a ProfecB. Should only take till the end of summer. Trying to buy a house too... it's a bitch.
