kept blowing all rubber fuel return lines to the tank.. found plugged hard metal line close to tank.. cleaned out the gunk and runs much cleaner.

it recently killed a fuel pump, and a fuel pressure regulator. after finding out the FPR wasnt even available for my style fuel rail i ended up switching to the later style that takes the more universal style FPR that the Digifant golfs and jettas ran. also alot of other euro cars ran the same FPR (im actually using a 2.5bar BMW FPR).. Wish i could find another 3bar.. or even a 3.5 would be nice.. still need bigger injectors then i can turn the boost up again... traction is pointless in the rain, this little sucker just gets ass squirly

3.5bar fpr should be found on an obd1 vr6.

well at the recent trip with this car to bozeman to visit matt and brandon. I managed to borrow b-dubs mbc for a few minutes and squeeze 20psi outta her... I REALLY need an ajustable FPR and some much larger injectors....
an attempt at a 2nd gear tire smoker i managed to smoke the stock clutch pretty hard haha! sucks this clutch is so much to replace.. i also must make a decision to upgrade or not to a different trans as my 4speed w/ overdrive is starting to grind 3rd. but i really dont feel like having to build more mounts and another different drive shaft... anyways the options are a later volvo true 5speed or another 4speed OD trans.
