TTP Meth Kit, but not placing blame on their kit. **** happens.

I guess from now on its 50/50 mix. If it costs a few HP i prefer that than a crispy car.

Thought it was too....I guess now it wasn;t gripping the hose....and plus the increased boost pressure could have played a part.

blame yourself...if it happened before, you are to blame. Those things are not supposed to pop out/ slide out without persuasion.

I'm sticking with 100% meth...i need it more than you

...still waiting on word on the 10.5 hs. As Sean Kingston says "Watta gwan?"

I run check valves on my setup. Even though the pump has them built in I prefer the line not be pressurized and effected by boost.

he was probably referring to a threshold where a certain boost amount + air/fuel = an unwarranted lean condition. The alarm triggers and either boost is cut, map is switched, or alarm sounded.

How does the meth line "pop" out of its' fitting? Mine specifically is screwed in and tightened with pliers and used thread sealer.

If the teeth on the nozzle holder aren't biting securely then it will eventually pop/slide off with little persuasion.
