Is it leaking boost as well? Can you hear it or is it running rough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't hear anything, just extremely poor fuel economy... On the boost gauage, vac at idle is around -11 Edited 01/07/12 05:00 AM by XYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I changed back to 1000cc injectors thinking the 2000's were too big.. Economy improved a little but nothing like where it used to be... Just driving around normally at work mixed traffic and highway driving, I'm lucky to get 300K's from a tank.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 1m 15d Posted 01/07/12 07:23 AM Author Share Posted 01/07/12 07:23 AM Hi Ratter,Not sure on the fuel trims.. Will have to ask. Clint has spent a lot of time on it and it is not behaving like his other customers using 2000cc injectors... He has sprayed around the inlet manifold a few times and cannot find a leak... Just thought I would ask if there was particular areas known to fault in our cars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
