Default magnafuel regulator fail
I got off of work and wanted to wash the car. I put the key in and prime the fuel pumps twice. I heard a loud sound of dripping water or some liquid looked under the car and my waste gate was leaking fuel....I was telling my self how dose a waste gate leak fuel. I looked at my vacuum/boost block and took off one of the lines sure thing full of fuel. and here is why http://youtu.be/TFA5-LeYR3Y




the regulator is new..with about 3hrs of run time

^^ That's the boost reference port buddy. call up magnafuel and get a new one, the diaphragm must be bad or maybe it was installed wrong at magnafuel
