SF Pressure Sensor/Fuel Pump Question
Until I'm ready to up my boost beyond 4psi and hook up the alcohol injection wires, I was wondering is it safe to use the pressure sensor that I received with my alcohol injection upgrade to turn on the fuel pump at 0.5psi? Can it be adjusted to that low a setting? I'm also wondering if the allen screw will stop when it reaches 0, or will it continue on to sense vaccum?

Rep Power: 312 It will not sense vaccum. But to turn it down to run the fuel pump, basically you keep backing it out until you hear it start to rattle when you shake it. That is a great starting point.
