So I "modified" a shim that was the correct height to make up the difference and all it good!! I'll take some pics next time it has to come outThanks again Edited 02/02/14 07:46 AM by Peppy_t92

TURBO4L (or was it 4LTURBO) first told me about the return restriction yrs ago when he was running two 044's on the stock reg. He was seeing close to 5 bar. Anyway it would be good to document base pressure with: - 255 lph in-tank; - 255 lph in-tank & single 044 surge; - add more!!!I need to set my plug in gauge up and do a few different set-ups.

dragons90 Member 42 Member For: 18y 3m 15d Gender: Male Posted 03/02/14 07:35 AM Posted 03/02/14 07:35 AM Sorry I mean the swirl pot not the regulator, I know that needs to be upgraded.
