I experience falling fuel pressure when I put the boost up on my Revo, as the OEM fuel pump can't cope.
But I don't recall hearing that ED30's experience the same issues????
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Just posted this in the other thread too but basically the fuel pumps on the K03 and K04 engines are the same. The reason the K04 cars cope is becuase the requested fuel at very low revs (with the K03 turbo when tuned) is very high, and more than the fuel pump can cope with.
The K04 does not have this characteristic, we all know that the fuel pump can deliver much more fuel at higher revs, due to the fact that it is driven off the cam, more speed, more fuel.. So because the K04 produces more grunt a touch higher in the rev range, you will be able to make far more power and torque without needing the fuel pump.
Hopefully that makes sense..
