Yup, well… I got everything for the most part buttoned up.. just enough to make sure that fuel pushes forward and that nothing leaks.<\/p>\n

Oh it primes alright..  primed so good that it blew the diaphragm  in my Fuel Pressure Regulator and had my intake full of it. Filled it up so good that the boost gauge had fuel coming out of the vaccum hose getting a little into my car and on my carpet. Filled it up so good that I had a nice fountain from the vacuum opening shoot straight onto the firewall.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, that was a bad day. My house reeked of fuel for.. well it still smell bad and this is going on day 5. So after getting some info for the forums that it was the issue I had to order  an aftermarket one from DriftMotion. After thinking about it, it was a poor decision on my end to try and cheap out and use the stock one and I sure had to pay for it in the end. I ended up going with the Aeromotive AFPR Kit for the 2JZ-GTE. Yup $250 more down the drain.<\/p>\n

After seeing how that worked I decided to also invest into a boost controller. I was going to be dumb\/cheap yet again and try to run off of just the wastegate. So I ordered a boost controller also just as a second caution for boost control. I was going to continue with AEM but was gladly notified that 90% of companies get the solenoids from a company called MAC. Of course buying straight from the source you usually save and sure enough it was half the cost for the same product. I purchased off of amazon for $60ish. It’s the 4 port Mac solenoid boost valve. Then be sure to get the proper fittings as well since it doesn’t come with it which was the <\/span>3\/16″ ID 1\/8″ NPT Male Barb Hose\/Tubing Fitting Connector for an awesome price of $4… $2 each.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I play the wait game… enjoy the pics of the progress.. or hinderance<\/p>\n

So in sequence.. found the main “fountain” that gas was blasting out of<\/p>\n

Removed all interior to clean the floor and shampoo all the interior fabric.. all seats were done also<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I went this far I took apart the whole front to brake clean the intake plenum and my intercooler since gas got in there as well. Words can’t express how bad of a gas smell it is\/was. (Sanded the bumper bash bar also to spray that also)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While I was this far I decided i could spray some rust prevention any where that I haven’t all ready sprayed as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Then just various pics of what is looks like<\/p>\n

Oh, the MAC Boost Controller Solenoid on Amazon<\/p>\n
