While working on the problem here and here (waiting for the cleaner to evaporate out of the TPS), I did a little fueling work.

I removed the AFC housing and slid the plate all the way forward. The fuel plate was a lot more forward than it was rearward already. In other words, I was hoping I would have been able to move it further forward than I did. The AFC was all the way to the rear, and I kept it there, as I had already moved the star wheel forward quite a bit already. I took the oppurtunity to change out the fuel plate bolts, and AFC bolts to 6mm allen socket cap screws. I also replaced the fuel filter. I can certainly feel a lot more power. Nothing extravagant, but it is very noticeable. My boost now reaches 20 PSI, and my EGT's can easily hit 1100 degrees. I really should just put in a #10 plate, 3GSK, and boost elbow. I can actually feel my transmission shift better, but now I have the itch for a new trans in order to actually feel the increased power.

Here's an interesting thing about the fuel filter. This time, and the last time I changed it, there has been a small amount of metal particles in the canister. Has anybody else had this?

 

I've encountered metal particles several times, my feeling is they come from wherever you purchase fuel as there is nothing in the fuel system that would produce them.
