I'm putting this in a separate post because I would like to lodge a disagreement on the following grounds, regarding the forum and it's policies:
1. Deleting information because of personal disagreements is frowned upon in internet culture, in a general sense. It is perceived as selfish and immature. Therefore, it's not unreasonable to apply the same expectations to this forum.
2. Considering the above, I disagree that it's "a small number of users" that are annoyed by this practice, even if few people are outspoken about it, many more feel that it serves the community no good to delete information that would benefit people down the road.
3. It is largely fruitless. Computer data is much, much more difficult to eradicate than to create and once something goes on the internet, it's probably archived out there somewhere, it's not going to truly disappear.
In summary, this ought to be changed and this practice should be officially discouraged like it is most everywhere on the internet. I do believe you're being much too harsh if you were to say that nobody should be able to critique the way the forum operates or suggest alternative ways of doing things. I like this group but the death of online communities usually comes when the group becomes more focused on the individuals involved instead of the topic at hand. I think a change in policy would shift the focus back to the subject of this forum and away from interpersonal drama.

Let me phrase that differently. A tapered pin would have a linear increase in fueling, but, at what point does the pin travel reach the end of the taper, on our engines (assuming stock configuration)? Is it pretty soon after you start making boost or is it closer to full boost?
<3 it doesn't even get there at stock boost.
Maybe you guys who feel that the rules of this forum should be changed should form a committee and then petition someone to make an international law that all forums must place specific limits on the editing/deleting of posts. Maybe gather a military force so that dissenting countries can be threatened into submission. Personally, I think more folks should delete most, if not all of their posts, but that's just my opinion and I certainly couldn't care less either way.

lmao. There is a lot of stupid siht out there that probably should be burned from existence.. But you are far too knowledgeable to have the need to do so
. Every word you speak is wisdom and intelligence. Whilst telling someone off you do so with planned accuracy and straight facts. To you sir, a raised pint is in order

Ok, I think perhaps all non-related posts to this thread topic should be deleted! J/K seriously lets all just get over it
Ok, so the boost pin DOES indeed move linearly in relation to boost
However @ stock boost it doesn't reach to top of the pin (narrowest section) for maximum fuel?
Does increased boost drive the pin lower? or does it have to be modified
Way to change this??? modified boost pin, shave the nylon washer and turn the starwheel down (cw)
Ultimatly, is there any benefits at all to run the LDA off the turbo
I have a modified pin, shaved washer, red timing advance spring.. (if this even works) after emissions testing I'll be installing these
I also have 2 TD IPs but I dont know which one would be best to have rebuilt and modded
The boost pin does move in its bore by boost pushing on the top of its diaphragm. I think I have had it told to me that increasing boost will do nothing, as the pin has already had full travel by 7-9psi.. ??
The advantage to running the LDA directly off the turbo instead of the intake manifold is a slightly quicker fuel enrichment if you are going to inter cool it. If not then it will not make a lick of difference.
I think the red timing advance spring is in the middle of hardest to softest.. and the lime green is the most desirable.
As for the IP test, depending on which one ran the best would be a good indicator. If not a basic test of grabbng the pulley and rocking it back and forth and see if you can get any play out of the shaft that the pulley is on. The one with the less play, will be the best candidate for a reseal.. However if you are having it rebuilt, the main shaft bushing should be replaced..

You only think that because I edit and delete most of the stupid crap I write.
At stock boost pressure with a properly adjusted LDA, the boost pin will not bottom out. If you are wanting to increase boost above stock there are various ways to accommodate the extra boost. There are many boost pins with a more aggressive profile that come fitted with springs with a higher rate to match.
