Only when it's the last possible minute and procrastination has run its course.

Priorities go: Engineering firm -> car/forum -> law school (subject to change for last minute deadlines and day of finals) "

When I get some time, I'll post some graphs of piston position vs time, piston velocity vs time and piston acceleration vs time. All for the N54. It's very interesting. I have to write a law review paper for law school first though so it may be a couple days. "

Rods - Carillo and Arrow both have options. VAC has them available. You can get stock length or custom. These are upgrades over stock, but the stock rods are very stout though.

Pistons - CP. You can get stock or custom compression. I think they carry stock and 9.2:1 on the shelves. But if you want any of the goodie options, you will have to wait for them to be manufactured (approx. 7 weeks). These are by far the most important upgrades for the n54. "

Not really. But I also haven't been driving my car for a little while. I haven't noticed anything like that in my friend's logs who also has a single turbo. "

" [QUOTE=135Hoser;468192]I can link videos too. The mazda lists you as a part supplier, but that's it. Also there's several HPFP upgrades available for those markets.

From your website

With more than 1,000 man hours into testing, design and destruct

Yet you have no proof/logs/documentation showing you've done anything with the N54 fuel pump. I haven't even seen you link a bench test.

Pick one car, someone that runs E85/Upgraded turbos and has fuel delivery issues, and send them a pump on contract that they detail their findings. "
