    so heres the car
    g60 42lb injectors.
    stock FPR SNS Stage 5 tuning for 20psi,
    garret turbo .48ar .50comp.

    cars been running really lean lately i feel a lose of power and resistance in the gas pedal.

    pulled my fuel pump saw the screen on the bottom was completly covered so i got a new fuel pump from TRE. changed the fuel filter. and got a new stock fuel pressure regulator.

    after all of this its still running lean, to the point where im about to get new injectors. any help?

    There could be a number of issues.

    Bad Digi
    Bad injectors
    Bad fuel pressure regulator
    Insufficient fuel flow
    Too small of an injector
    Vacuum leak
    Intake leak
    Bad o2 sensors

    Best thing to do is break out the Bentley and go to town.

    one thing that sucks with chips is that you can't easily alter fuel injector pulse width. this is why standalone is so nice. id max those babies out

    replaced with o2 sensor a month ago bosch one.
    had a cheap one fail on me after 2 years started to lean out this was a month ago got the new sensor and all was good.
    Fuel pressure reg is brand new as of two days ago
    Fuel pump New 2 days ago also
    injectors are 42lbs 440cc been daily driving this set up for 2 years no issues.
    vacuum is around -18 to 20 ish while idling
    intake leak?? possible but i just changed the throttle body gasket over the winter when i had it all apart.

    Definitely cause you are taxing your inj's, they must have been on the high end at 14

    Contact USRT, they are VERY knowledgeable and willing to help
