    Lol right? starting not to surprise me anymore.. Only took pulling the blower 3 more times to isolate the problem.

    Are you running the TRD tune with the FPR mod? or do you have secondary fueling that kicks on whenever the TRD tune starts running out of fuel?

    Yup been running TRD tune and FPR for about 5 years now. Even though I’m running the 2.55 and NST Kit. I’m only hitting 8/9 psi in the colder months cause I’m at 5500 ft. V

    I did have water/meth for awhile but I didn’t like how it pooled up at the throttle body and how it caked to the rotors.

    These new snow controllers may help distribute with spraying better though. I’m interested in getting a snow controller that’s wired to MAF and control my 7th injector.

    Thanks for the info man, sounds like TRD tune is super solid, will probably run this for a while.

    Controller should work, but i think you'll need to get a pump that's rated/safe for gas. I think i remember reading something about this a while back..

    GOT my guage a few days ago, but it doesn't come with a boost solenoid control valve.

    That cuts the vacuum if the engine is running lean, do I need to buy ANOTHER part
    ?
    Or how does this work
    ?

    I think you have to buy the part to do that. Honestly I only bought it because it was a dual boost/afr gauge.

    ok
    So you have no failsafe system for the supercharger then?

    Don’t need a pump. The 7th injector is under pressure just like the other 6 injectors.

    Oh sweet, that makes sense, sounds like the controller might do exactly what youd like then. You just want it to activate with boost or a certain IPW?

    Oooo! Where did you find that gem? Please post your maintenance results. I was very surprised how much crap collected on the nozzle screen after 8 months. Annual cleanings I believe are not enough.

    The valve hole and stem actually get some kind of deposits in there that plug it up.
    My filter screen has been clean so far.

    Or as instructed just take it out and clean it. Some clr and maybe air could tune it up.

    Yup you can do this too, cleaning the nozzle is a must and has to be inspected on a regular basis.

    It does and will get plugged with gunk. The last time I cleaned mine the spring, the nozzel and the shaft
    had some kind of corrosion stuck to those parts but the screen was clean
