    Change your fuel pump if you are going to "up the boost"... the stock one is not capable of supplying enought fuel at higher RPM on boost as low as 0,9 (it has an effect of "lean fuel curve" at the top).

    They have some good info on fuel pump upgrade.

    Remeber guys upping the boost can be very detrimental to your engines health. I recommend that you dont fiddle unless you know what you are doing. Seeing the remains of Richies engine is a real eye opener! :rolleyes5

    Hey,

    Any reason why I wouldn't be able to see the pics at the top of this post? I'm just about to instal an MBC in my Legnum and those pics sound like they'd be handy.

    thanks guys
