True that.. I wish I had my FP gauge last year. Found out in the middle of a lapping day that my fuel pump was on its way out. Would've been a lot easier if I had a FP gauge. Needless to say its on my list of things to buy soon.

Received my Aeromotive fuel line adaptor fitting today. The 1/8" NPT port has a threaded plug in it and the -6 AN port is open. Of course my fuel pressure sender unit is 1/8" NPT. If you don't intend to use the AN port be sure to also order a -6 AN O-ring boss plug to seal it.

If there is no signal (100% DC), it won't open at all!
Did my entire explanation of lever-arm and relative diameter go completely over your head?
You can double the opening point of a mechanical system with a boost controller with no problem (though I wouldn't go much further because of granularity), as long as the lever arm is enough to stop the gate from pulling the actuator open.
Do you understand the lever idea?

Am I correct in this or is there something I have missed here ?
What am I missing here ?
If you can explain while keeping the insults to a minimum I would appreciate that .
Perhaps a diagram might help .

A properly sized actuator will not blow open under any circumstance.
However, the bigger the diameter, the stiffer the spring for the same opening pressure.
Pressure has more surface to work with when opening the thing and, therefore, does more work.
So, the spring must be stiffer.

Wow 3" is huge !
Now that I see how this all ties in together with the FP guage I gotta agree that it is a really good setup .
I get very high pressure drop across the pipework (up to 6-7psi) at high boost and high rpm . So if i have 9psi at the uim it will be 15-16psi at the turbo . I wondered if you see anything similar and if so how does it affect your large actuator ?
To the OP - Sorry about all this off topic stuff
