Techinfo will show you how you're making 7-8 psi stock by adding an aftermarket boost gauge. I wrote the article.

Then Techinfo will tell you what steps you need to go through to be able to decrease pulley diameter. There'* alot involved for a S1 L67.

Did you read the article about cracked manifolds and fuel pressure?

How about you read it and post questions that you don't understand.

BS. You have cracked manifolds. I gaurantee it. You can't see them unless you either take them off the car or look VERY carefully with mirrors and good flashlights. Every square inch needs to be inspected.

I haven't seen a set of L67 S1 manifolds in the last 2 or 3 years that didn't have cracks.

I took mine off a couple days ago. No cracks. But 4 of the 6 ports were leaking between the flange and the head.

That'* another reason why you gotta pull the manifolds off. Do a search on holy exhaust cracks with me as the author. You'll see some neat pics. Some of the cracks are very small.
