The ECU will run pig-ass rich if thats the case...although I don't know how that make the idle low. You have access to a logger? Own a BlackBerry?

It flows more than the Walmart pumps. get an adjustable regulator. Own a BlackBerry? Check out www.allaboutmybb.com Twitter @allaboutmybb Twitter @MarkPPG

They are noisy as hell flow way too much for most cars (the 255's anyways) they are cheap (hencethe walmart name) but really they are not THAT much cheaper than the supra or the 195/l denso units.

I would check your plugs to make sure you're not leaning out somewhere in your powerband. And re: the noisy Walmart pumps... I don't see what PPG has to worry about. With all that hair, it would soak up any noise! haha Then again, now I understand why he thinks it's noisy...it's b/c all that hair went away! Slowpoke, The Black Plagued 91 AWD

I just meant it was a well deserved term for the Walbro pumps. Mine is loud. But if you can hear your pump it just means your exhaust isn't loud enough. 1998 AWD 12.1@122 421whp -SOLD Duck Dodgers = EPIC FAILZ!
