Well i fitted a new pressure sensor, cam follower and fuel filter on order. If I replace all three, hopefully problem will be sorted!

Can you do a check on the in-tank pump?

It may have a fault on that which could be causing your low fuel pressure issue?

Yup, log block 103. Reference value should be around 5 bar although mine is around 4.5 bar at red line but with no ill effects.

I did some logs and the intank pump pressure is fine, I ran basic settings on it aswell.
Hopefully its the fuel filter when it arrives tuesday
My luck struck again at the tyre fitters yesterday, they managed to put the tyres inside out after they balanced them(Vredesteins) then when they refitted them and balanced them again, they managed to chip an inch of paint off the rim with the tyre iron :fighting:

Oh well, cam follower, fuel filter were changed, I stuck a remap on aswell just incase it was the shark stock map at fault.
I did some datalogging when I got a few fuel cuts. Think I've narrowed it down to the in tank fuel pump, logs below are quite bad to be honest, first column is the intank fuel pressure, the high pressure logs show practically no fuel at all getting through at points, and I deleted a fair few columns out of the graph aswell. Also still have that massive boost spike, even with the new n75 valve fitted, repair bill now stands at over £3800. milltek downpipe has been sent to milltek for repair, as the machine shop couldnt machine the flange back it was that badly distorted off the bloke that welded it up for me. So no doubt the milltek bill will be pushing the repair bill to close to £4000 :surprised:

Did you replace for oem? Is there an uprated one and would it make any difference if there was...?
