I can't find a suitable material for high pressure and temp.
Its actually the hydrocarbons that kill EPDM. I had overlooked that in the chemical compatibility of EPDM. Next best bet would be to get some viton tubing, and use some nylon plugs. Plugs used for drip systems may be good enough.

^ yes! A shout out. lol

The bolt used is a snug fit for the fuel hose. Also added yellow teflon tape + goop. That thing aint going no where and it's fuel hose so don't have to worry about heat / tearing.

yep. I noticed as soon as I capped off my vac lines on TB my a/f at idle instantly sits at 14.7-15.5 now.. it used to be stuck at 12.5.. now it sounds like a evo that actually has cams. I still get the idle drop/ stall sometimes tho....... you think its the acel and decel tables in the ecu that need tweaked? or possibly i have to readjust the biss and ecu idle rpm?

Could be a bit of both or more. All part of a tune. I would do the Biss first.

the SAS actuator when engaged it idles at like 1300 where as ecuflash i have it set for 1039 or w/e and by itself it will sit at 1100 now.. so they are all out of wack pretty much. I will play more with it later on, but youre right it is the tune.. its the fuel trim. I never tuned my low fuel trim, just the mid.. the low is pegged at -12. I need to tweak the MAF scaling and get it done. Did you do the screw mod on the maf? where you can peel off silicone on maf and backout some plastic screw to be flush so it doesnt restrict airflow as much? applaudd told me about that one.

My mini battery also died again today after charging it to 100% and not having an issue for 48 hrs, so that mini battery is history.. not dealing with that **** anymore. optima in trunk and done. pos mini battery! I think the battery has lots to do with the issues im having also.

I never tried the maf mod. I'm on SD and haven't looked back since.

I got a redtop in my trunk. Forget the mini battery.

Im doing the redtop in trunk tomorrow. What kit did you use for the enclosure and etc? What about the SD how is the idle control/ etc..? I should do SD since im flowing massive amounts of air.
