My car hates 89 octane!

Well that'll be interesting.  There is no egr.  Why would you delete the evap system rather than just fix the leak. 

 

And why not just service the pcv system or install a catch can?

You'd be better off spending that time replacing worn evap lines with silicone or new rubber emissions hose, and cleaning your throttle body and iac valve. 

I have alot of fabrication tools I can use so I figure why not. I havn't made any headway with the evap delete so I'm going to just stick with oem parts and silicone on that project. Other than that the pcv delete and some porting is going down this saturday. :)

Are you going to vent it to atmosphere? Just make sure to close up the ptc sensor on the turbo inlet pipe.  otherwise you'll have unmonitored air entering the mix after the MAF.

Apparently if you swap the red 420 cc injectors along with a MAF from that model year the ecu won't run so rich in open loop fueling and you'll net a few HP. 

 

If you just up the injectors with no other tuning provisions,  it'll dump fuel at cold idle, warm idle, and anything over 4K rpms (WOT situations). 

 

Best way to check fuel pressure without a gauge is to just hit the schrader valve after it's sat overnight,  if it still has fuel pressure it'll spit some fuel.  The valve is on the fuel rail, looks like a tire valve stem.  Just have a rag ready and push it in with a flat head, you'll know right away whether or not your o-rings and FPR are good.  

Your saying my Stock ecu can compensate for 420cc injecters with the T4 MAF? Bear with me, I'm still a learning,lol.

Thanks 1clean00. Yes, venting it to the atmpshere. Going to use a 3/4" inside diameter pipe for the crankcase vent at the same elevation as the oil dipstick. Then going to run a universal valve cover filter on top. Luckily the parts store is right around the corner cause I bet I'm going to run into a curveball,lol. Anyone have suggestions with this project?
