"If you do not have an aftermarket MPI, then you will need to purchase an additional fitting that is -6 Male Flare to 5/16" hose barb and utilize the rubber portion of your OEM line to finish the connection."

Then you could change out the HPFP cap.

And then I guess I'd have to make lines. It's a lot, I get it. Probably not worth it if you're not pushing max power. Was just curious if the fuel lines really only make sense if going MPI

I can just run the PR lines into the stock rubber hose like they suggest and the stock rubber hose remains secured to the stock HPFP cap. Seems to me like upgrading 3/4 of the line and keeping the existing rubber hose to the HPFP still creates a restriction of flow.

yep - why do it if you end up retaining a restriction?

Lower intake temps is the resolution to year around consistency - ie: put the car on drugs

Yep, this is what I was thinking. Seeing numerous high hp builds running meth.

What's the deal with the rail sensors, for folks running aftermarket seats? Do they actually need to be installed anywhere in particular, or do they just kinda sit under the seat?

Can someone tell me why I can reach a higher boost when I unplug my wastegate actuator? Sorry for asking this question here but I couldn't find any thread about this issue
I'm having what I thought was a boost leak issue with my 19 GTI S 6MT w/ stock turbo. I installed a new wastegate actuator and was still having low boost issues where it would only go up to 6psi, but when I unplugged it and drove my car, I saw that my car could reach a higher boost with it unplugged. Does this mean I have a stuck/binding flapper arm?

How often do you need to refill your meth tank?

When I was daily driving the car it was like 1/2 gallon every two weeks maybe - and that’s with dual nozzles setup at 750cc starts spraying at 12psi and full flow at 22+

Which kit do you have?

This helps me out as I was curious about the standard 2 or 3 gallon tank, vs upgrading to a 5 gal and whether or not it would be necessary. It's about 5 miles to work and I hardly ever get a chance to open it up along that route.

If it's Megan Racing, probably $350?

Buddy paid 475 for his I believe.
