its not boost....and for a stock motor, leave it stock. you dont even really need a fpr for boosted applications

if you're na, you actually want to take as much fuel as possible out, not add fuel. want to run a little closer to lean, just start lowering the pressure a little at a time and take it for a test ride (be sure to romp it), if you don't hear detonation/pinging, then lower it some more, keep doing this until you hear pinging, then add a little bit, and you'll be right on the edge. also pull your plugs and read them, lighter/whitish = lean, dark = rich.

cool thanks did you send them back ? if i change the lenght of the hoses (vacum) does that affect anything ? so leaner is better whats a ping or knocking sound like ? when the car sputters ?

no, i'm stopping by the post office today, i've been busy as ----. detonation/pinging occurs when you run too lean, you'll know it when you hear it, then you need to add some more fuel. the car won't sputter, that's what happens when you're running rich, kind of bogs.

the fpr is not sufficient for a turbo setup
