    Boost issue fixed, Now part of stage 3 club.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I finally fixed my boost issue today and have a healthy running VAST stage 3 car. Oh my god, I never really understood how much faster my car would be from my 2+ setup, or even my 3- setup. The power of this thing has made all the time, money and effort worth it. For those that are on the fence, do it, you will not regret it

    DIY, I'm an idiot with installing stuff and I was able to do it with a couple buddies of mine. The scariest part for me was getting the fuel rail to pull up. You just need to each grab a hold and wiggle it up using even pressure on both sides. Its really not that bad. The only issue I had was when i pulled up, I messed up the driver side EGT, causing the car to not push anymore than 8 psi for the past couple of days. We just changed that out and now it works like a champ. If you stay with VAST, then make sure the driver side injectors are facing towards the front of the car, and the passenger injectors are facing towards the firewall. It shouldn't take you more than 3 hours or so doing it yourself for the first time.

    could installing the 60 lb injectors wrong contribute to running rich. I remember reading that if the injectors arenlt in the right position then something wouldn't be right? I am having this prob and I am wondering. not a boost leak I checked..... sorry for jacking

    Maybe, I know they have to be a certain way. I'd just call VAST and see what they say. When I did mine, I had no idea of how they were suppose to go so I just put them back in like the stock ones. Prince at VAST told me I guessed right so try moving them around and see what happens.

    It depends on the injectors you're using. If you're using GG's or GT's, then the electrical connectors should face outwards towards the fenders. If you're using the 60lbs or the RS4 injectors, then the drivers side connectors should face the driver, and the pass side connectors should face the front of the car.
