    Installed Sonnex got question

    Does anyone know if there is a kit to put heavyer springs in it to get a little more, I could probly find some at the hardware store, but it would be trial and error, and I dont really want to keep poping the valve body off to experiment, so time wise it woulds be easier and cheaper to just do...

    Please explain "stall speed"

    I maybe wrong, but as in aircraft and as in automotive, I was under the impression that stall on a vehicle is when the engine can not keep up with the demand and stalls out, like if you could take a car and imobilize it then put it in gear it would increase till the engine could not produce...

    Question about CCV mod.

    I understand that, they toss you in the mix and tell you that you can either pay it and get it over or just make a court day that will remove it, but then you have to wait with a suspended lisence for a month or so since there backed up to get it straighten for free,since they tell you it take a...

    Hpop Line

    I really think it's worth it, seems like the Hpop balances the pressure faster. last night i ran the tourbo to 23psi i did.nt notice anything different as far as engine sound,I guess because of high pump pressure, but sure seems to help at first start in the morning and idle when there is low...

    Question about CCV mod.

    Maybe it that way so there is less chance of sucking oil out of the CCV. I would believe if i thought about it that there is less blowby since a diesel does'nt need as much CCV as a gasser would and does'nt have a PVC like a gasser...if im thinking right
