None at all. the only change was a slight adjustment of the idle since it was way to low when i set it back.. I think I added maybe 1.5 - 2 turns to the screw from where it was to get back. Fuel filter is good, just changed oil.

it's not a huge loss, feels like a bit more turbo lag honestly, it'll smoke but it cleans up faster than it did before the spring. i'm prolly due for a lift pump upgrade anyways.. and looking for a better clutch before this one comes apart.

way low after the spring install? if you didnt mess with the idle screw everything should have remained the same...

I got the idle screw almost off. i was gonna shorten it and install the screw side to the front for clearance to the pump housing bolt. I had it marked but couldn't ger it out.. it's a little tweaked like someone pried on it or somethin *shrug*

thinking about it. my issue is the grind I put on my fuel pin. it's very light then dipd hard.. so at lower crusing boost levels it's not fueling hard and saving me some fuel since I mainly drive highway. If i put the bottom end a little more agressive it should fix my issue.


i'm good.
