Hey Tom
It's Taylor (red SPG) from Lititz
Glad to see your engine is in and everything is good..
I'll answer your questions to my best ability...
1) I think? you needle is supposed to be over there at idle. Not sure. Someone will correct me though...
2) you are flirting with fate if your boost is off the red and you don't have bigger injectors or a bigger FPR. I believe you still have the 2.5bar FPR (that little guy I pointed to)... replace this with a 3bar (go to Lititz, they'll give you one for $10)... the reason you're flirting with fate is because......
3) ...that noise you're hearing at high boost is called detonation. Don't let that continue. Your fuel mixture is way too lean (not enough gas) at top end, and its damaging the engine. It will be fixed (mostly) with a 3bar and bigger injectors
Your car looks great!
Hope to see you at Lititz some more...
Next next monday I'm getting my big turbo installed there, if you're in the area
Good luck!
Taylor
90 SPG
