It runs great, gets great gas mileage, and I would like to keep it that way for a while. I don't want to hotwire the fuel pump without a afpr and everything because I had bad luckon my other tt doing it without one or a safc.
Thanks!

- its generally accepted that 14 is the TYPICAL safe zone for most cars, some knock at this, some dont.
- you MAY hit fuel cut at 14 psi, most cars dont, mine did, preventing me from revving out fully
either hotwire the stock fuel pump, or swap in a walbro 255 unhotwired- you wont sacrifice any mileage from this- the pump wont be making enough pressure to overrun the system, AAAAAAaaaand guys run a hotwired 255 on the stock fuel pressure regulator with no problems- this INCLUDES MATT M AND RAY P, and for a brief time, myself (until I upgraded to a dual pump- dual feed setup)
get a better recirculated BOV- the stock plastic ones leak, and have a tendancy to cause loss of power- from loss of maintaining boost pressure/ and improper venting. The evo 8/9 bov is an excellent replacement for relatively cheap.
if your down to do a lil extra turbo work to get the most out of your 9bs, port out the step in the exhaust housing to let it breath a little better, it will not do much, but it helps a lil bit if your up for getting into your turbos any....
with your mods listed above and the ones i suggested sans ported 9b's (waste of time in my eyes back then as i was already planning upgrading and throwing them away) I hit 27-28 mpg highway in a 6 spd and roughly 20-21 around town not driving like a hoon. It was a pretty good recipe for me anyway.
