Oh lol, well my gauge registered at 19, i just assumed it was psi lol and it got to 7 pounds of boost, also there was a check valve installed in the line that went to the pressure sensor. I cant find that in any diagram so i removed it and it seemed to run a little better

Five gallons of gas and 42 gallons worth of injector cleaner (2 bottles of super concentrated) later and it seems to have quit the flooding problem. Now i have an exhaust leak, bumper support to replace, rough idle, fix e-brake, and replace the exhaust. Its come a long way in just a few days from, "blown engine" to almost on the road

Just send your injectors out to be cleaned properly. All you've run through your injectors is basically alcohol.

Im on a short budget lol, and the cleaner seems to have worked fine. Im going after the bumper support tomorrow. Then the exhaust leak. After thats fixed im gonna go after the rough idle, if its still there.
