Fuel filters and fuel pumps and FPR'* don't cause heat-related power loss.

No bypass on a Series1 L67 without custom parts.

I was on the phone with Toasty and Boosty during the compressor issues. They were trying to locate one to install (they were talking by phone with the victim). Anyone know if he got home yet?

Yah "the victim" got home @ 2am (13hours after leaving) I have to make another trip to the states now to RETURN! the new compressor! I dont know why but when its pluged in after a few miles it started to smoke again, so we unpluged it and simply let it "free wheel" but it was throwing metal shaving and now the pullie moves freely on its shaft from side to side, i dont know if and hope its not related to the new style ECC that me and Randy installed on saturday let me know what you think


EDIT: should i start a new thread for this issue?

I had this exact problem before I got a new pump. No other changes, a new pump fixed it.

but why would that fix it? because while the car was in open loop it ran fine, when using more fuel, but once the car got into closed loop, it stumbled. so i would think if he had a open loop problem then a fuel pump would solve it.
