See zzp's site. It's a 5th injector to add fuel capacity. Goes on the intake manifold.

lol thanks, Its an insane ride. Its on 25psi currently and full spool between 45 & 4800rpm, so good guess there. I need to rev out a lil further so that I can keep it in boost between shifts.

5000-7000 it sounds like a jet plane taking off, no intake or filter on the turbo, I have videos of it on you tube.

these are before the quick spool valve so spool is a bit slower than it is now
