Troubleshooting the Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller
The Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller (FPSC) has built-in safeguards to protect itself and the engine. The integrated processor on the circuit board is programmed to continuously monitor certain operating conditions including current draw, operating voltage and RPM input. If key operating conditions should fall outside of expected parameters, the FPSC may default into self protect mode, shutting itself and the fuel pump off. When this occurs, all LED indicator lights on the FPSC will flash in unison.
Fuel Pump Speed Controller
The Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller (FPSC) uses a progressive speed control strategy, meaning as the engine RPM increases the fuel pump speeds up with it. Each new FPSC is fully tested from the factory and preset for full pump speed at 2,500 engine RPM. It's important to calibrate the high RPM set point for your unique engine combination. Since pump speed increases with the engine RPM, raising the RPM point for full speed still feeds the engine properly in the mid-range while vastly reducing the fuel recycle rate at idle and cruise to keep fuel cool during long drives.
Understanding and Using Vacuum/Boost
All Aeromotive EFI Bypass Regulators allow intake manifold pressure, vacuum and boost, to affect the regulated fuel pressure. When a fuel pressure regulator is referenced to manifold pressure, it acts to mirror manifold pressure changes with equal changes in fuel rail pressure resulting in lower fuel rail pressure with manifold vacuum and higher fuel rail pressure with boost. The effect occurs on a 1:1 ratio, where the regulator raises and lowers fuel pressure in sync with the change in manifold pressure.
Aeromotive Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulator Vacuum and Boost Reference
All Aeromotive Carburetor Bypass Regulators are designed to allow the regulated fuel pressure to be vacuum or boost referenced on a 1:1 ratio with PSI. The purpose of the boost reference feature is to ensure fuel pressure at the inlet of the needle-and-seat rises with boost, offsetting any air pressure opposing fuel flow at the outlet of the needle and seat, in the float bowl itself.
Choosing the Fuel Filter for Your Fuel Pump's Outlet
Guidelines for selecting the correct size Fuel Filter for the outlet side of your Aeromotive Fuel Pumps.

Guidelines for selecting the correct size Fuel Filter for the inlet side of your Aeromotive Fuel Pumps.
Selecting the Correct Fuel Line Hose
Selecting the correct fuel line hose is dependent on the type of application. Once selected, the right fuel line hose can help prevent premature failure and damage to other components.
Wastegate Sizing
So how should you decide what size wastegate to run on your turbocharged vehicle? Well, let’s first look at how a wastegate works.
Wastegate Spring Selection
When selecting a wastegate spring, one of the most important things to determine is the LEAST amount of boost you want to run. The reason for this is because a turbocharger cannot run less boost
TiAL MV-R Wastegate (44mm)
TiAL's MV-R Wastegate is the replacement for the popular V44. Center lines and flanges are identical to the V44, making this a 100% replacement piece. This MVR is a compact wastegate (only 4.17" high) that allows installation in the tightest locations.

AN vs. NPT: Understanding Threads and Line Sizes
The designation AN stands for Army/Navy and calls out mil/spec (military specifications) for dimensional standards of hydraulic lines, hose-end connectors and port adapter fittings. AN specifications are a popular standard met by all companies that manufacture AN style performance fuel hose and accessories. For many there has been much confusion about the subject of AN lines, NPT and ORB ports, and how all of this works together. Here are the answers for those wanting to know.
