juicy trouble:confused:

Got my juice in. tapped the wire etc, I can tell no difference in level 3-5. I took off the tap and it was the same as when it was hooked up. So I retapped, figured that I did not do it right the first time.Still no difference. It's like it's not tapped. Would changing the settings help? Should I be able to clearly tell that it is on 5 not 3?Should I be able to at least burn out a little?No smoke and its on 5-5. It's a automatic. Went and checked all my connections they look good.Thanks
Does any one know who I could email? Man I was looking forward to this thing giving me some power. I will keep at it till I get it.

If you have not already, you may want go into the configuration and make sure that the max boost setting is high enough. I had mine default to 0 once and the thing would not fuel. Also make sure max exhaust temp is high enough. You may want to make sure that the module is remembering the settings, i.e. change some of the low boost fuel settings and make sure it remembers them. Is the turbo timer working? Good luck. If all those work then we need to make sure the 12 vdc positive from the fuel wire connector at the vp44 is getting from the VP44 to the connector at the juice module.

I did go into configuration and set them higher. No diff. Some one suggested that I need to replace LP I am running at 6-9 at 50 and drops to 3 at WOT. They said I was starving my vp44.That makes sense to me.I will try to upgrade my system.Could this explain my problem?

Mine was dropping to almost 0 at WOT. With a new LP it only drops to 3, but that's still not enough. You need to get some sort of high pressure setup, aux pump, or FASS.

I had those types of FP numbers so I went with the relocation / big line kit. Now on 5x5 I can't get below 9 and I cruise at 14 all the time.

Remember, the unit won't juice up until 140 degrees. On 5x5 you should be able to get a solid cloud of smoke until your air gets going. Not sure I notice a huge difference between 3 and 5, but I sure do notice a HUGE difference between 2 and 5, along with some good smoke,which tells me my tapping worked.

I noticed a HUGE difference from tapping the wire, be sure you are tapping the right one.

I don't burn a bunch of tires, but I don't power brake, I have an auto, but I also have a 3.54 rear end, I'm sure I could light up tires with a 4.10

I would also bet that you are tapping the wrong wire. If your values were set incorrectly on the juice/attitude it would be alarming you. I don't think the lp is the problem, but it will be once you fix your problem. Even if it is only making 3psi, that is still plenty to blow some smoke.

Check your tap wire.
