Reminder to clean your inline Meth filter...
Hey Guys, I was having an issue with my pump/controller, and Julio asked me when the last time I cleaned my inline brass mesh filter, let's just say I was over due...
It was pretty clogged, used a freakin pressure washer to clean it, all good!!
The car really likes Meth, even if it goes just a bit rich, you can feel the TQ! Went for a VERY long Canyon run yesterday, 100 degrees out on some of the ride. After almost 3 straight hours of driving, not a single glitch, she ran like a champ!!

Most of the cheap kits only turn the light green when the pump is commanded so you can not tell from the light if your line is clogged.
So the only way to tell is to see if afr goes lean or if you have a flow indicator in the line.
