Before the testing and the upgraded fuel system the car was running 2x 680cc and 4x 550cc total 3.5L/min
now ive intalled 2x 550cc and 2x 1680cc total 4.5L so even in this situation i will probable see the injector max out before the pump. I guess the duty cycle i run will depend on the turbo and boost, but i would like to talk it to the max to test the theory

So when i got home from work I welded the flange I had bought for the downpipe to the housing. Now I just need another flange.
I'll have that turbo permanently installed in that car yet!
I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey smart dudes this may seem like an overly stupid question but im trying to figure out the whole point of this test cuz it seems like your trying to find out what fuel pressure the stock fuel system can handle (with the exception of the fuel pumps). Would that be the right reasoning for your experiment? Cuz i mean how much fuel pressure does one really need other than stock pressure? And does it depend soley on amount of boost your running?
Thanks and sorry for being a noob to this

Possibly, I considered that when i got it at work. But decided it would be cheaper faster and easier to just weld the 3" V-band i had. I'll just buy another one monday.
This way i could alway machine it later, or cut off the flange i welded and make a 4" exhaust
