Current setup:
Benched 180 - 500cc+
5x.016s
Afc has governor spring from 180 pump
FP is 35-40psi @ WOT
467/83/.91

For some reason, im able to clean up almost completely. Normally that's a good thing, except I know this charger shouldn't be able to do it.

Could the afc spring be the issue? Im thinking it might be binding or not allowing full travel. I wish I had a video, but I don't, as no one ever records for me LOL

I know when i put a 180 governor spring in my afc it took alot of air to budge it

That's what I like about it, I just need to make sure that's not what's killing my fuel up top.

I am, but I want more things to check while I have the ambition to do it lol.


What are others running for afc springs? I just want one that will allow full travel. If I have to go back to stock I will LOL

Sounds like afc to me. I'd pull it and test it.

LOL Cold is right. It's rainy and miserable here. I was gonna work on the beetle, but no way in hell I'm crawling under that low as car with out jack stands, pissed off already about the rain.

If the rain stops, I'm going to go pull the AFC apart.
 
Pull the afc arm and gradually give it fuel until you are wot (so you don't flood out the charger). If that does not produce wot smoke and a chit ton of it you have a problem somewhere with the linkage, pump or those injectors are not what they appear (which is doubtful).

Good luck with that. Can those plastic toys'r'us wrenches actually do anything?

EDIT: LOL LOL LOL LOL I just imagined someone trying to break a nut loose with one of those.

Lol I missed this earlier. Your ate up lol
 
any luck finding the leak? I found mine today, had no suspects, then had an idea, wrapped paper towel around fittings and zip tied. went out for a romp, wet paper towel = proof of a leaker.

Nope, rain killed all my ambition today. I hate laying in a wet driveway, and I didn't feel like unhitching the truck.
