i put an atm compensator on my eco diesel to try and see if it works as an LDA. the one prob i ran into is that the two bolts are different sizes so that i cant just swap the vent bolt for the banjo bolt. i know a few people have done this but i couldnt find the threads. can anyone chime in on this topic.

so i got ahold of some banjo bolts and fitting that i think will work but doesent the lower hole need to have a vent on it? should i just leave the stock banjo down there with a rubber cap to keep crud out?

it seems to work. the car is a lot faster. i adjusted the 6 point screw on the top clockwise about 3/4 of a turn and it seems to move along nicely. what other adjustments should be done to it?
