It didn't want to idle right at 30psi (we were only seeing about 30psi) that saturday we brought it up. Vlad bumped it up to 40-43psi and it idled happily. I've got no qualms with running it at 35psi, but if it won't idle...

I set it @ 35 base psi in january for a reason... if ya changed it, I wish you had told me, now what was done on saturday morning needs to be redone. There's no reason to run a boosted car @ 42.5 psi or 3bar base fuel pressure, especially with the amount of injector you have.... it just kills pumps quicker. I'm thinking of turning mine down to 30psi base and it will idle somewhere around 22psi and probably drop to ~17psi on hard decel....

Turning it up to 43psi and running 25psi of boost nets ~70psi of rail pressure.... pumps don't flow very well under higher pressures and the Bosch is notorious for cavitating... hell.... that pump could've been what puked 3 engines... just saying... whatever did frag 3 engines was never found.... we just assumed it was PFS and his shitty building and porting and that bullshit PFC and joke of a CDI known as the twin nopower...

I've got a Bosch 044 that was used for probably about the same, maybe less and I guarauntee it's worse....

Take a 5 gallon jerry can go to the gas station
buy 5 gallons of gas
mark where on the tank 5 gallons is
remove return line from fuel tank top and insert into jerry can
Set base pressure to 43.5.... oh wait
jump fuel pump and time how long it takes to pump 5 gallons
MATH
Compare calcs to Bosch specs.
turn up to 72psi and repeat

Yup... and we have a customer here that bought a used Blitz Dual SBC boost controller and he was assured that it worked just fine.... he boost spiked to well over 30psi on the dyno..... when asked where he got it
scubie forum
why was the guy selling it
becuase it wouldn't control the boost on his subie
but it's a BOOST CONTROLLER
Yeah but something about the subies....
some wierd mystical turbo that only subaru knows how to regulate boost on??!?!?!
