Ok, a little background on the car
Well, I had the car out this weekend noticed the fuel pressure dropping off. I do not have a wideband yet, so I got a little worried. At idle, the fuel pressure is reading almost 70 psi. Rolling about 60 mph in 3rd gear, I noticed the fuel pressure is around 58 - 62 psi. I then hit it and as fast as boost came on the fuel pressure dropped. At max boost (17 psi) I noticed the fuel pressure was 38 psi. I immediately got out of it. This does not seem right to me at all. I thought the fuel pressure should be 45-50 at idle and increase with boost 1-to-1. Could someone please give me a little insight on this and hopefully give me a few things that I should check??? Some of you tuners or fuel guys should have some idea, I hope! Please let me know what you think.
