Ok, I finally got my turbo installed!

Anyway, I have two issues.

1) I installed the B&M FPR. Now my fuel pressure is a constant 44psi, no matter what I do. Vacuum on, or off or how much I turn the screw...its still 44 (well, shaking between 42 and 46). I think I'm leaking fuel at my B&M fp gauge, but a very little bit. Could that cause the problem? BTW, my fuel setup is Walbro intank, bm fpr, and 2 extra injectors tapped outta the line from the rail to the filter.

2) When I start my car the oil pressure is nearly 4 kg/cm2. Thats like 56psi. Now this is when its at idle and still cold. Is this normal? When it warmed up the pressure dropped, but I forget by how much. My oil setup is a ss line from the block at the oil pressure sender to a T which has my oil send line and my oil pressure gauge.

So far those are my only issues. Hopefully that'll be it.

Wish I could help.

Sunday night/monday morning seems like it isn't a good time for questions.....

Try tapping the vaccum source directly from the manifold as a preliminary step.


Who did the B&M ?.... was the stock FPR cut properly, and did they/you re-insert the spring ?

I cut the fpr. I just cut the hat 1/4" down from the top. Just like in the instructions and like the pics on C-Speeds site.

I got your answers.

First off, the cold oil pressure of 56psi is normal. Watch what the hot oil pressure at idle is (very low).

Second, the pump is way more than the B&M can bypass. You need to relive the pressure by drilling a small hole in it.

Check on endyn's site. http://www.theoldone.com look for TOO.

Yeah, I was looking at the TOO bypass. I'll see if that works, thanks.

I even found the article here:

It should fix your problem.
