When there is vacuum the fuel pressure is decreased and thus fuel delivery is decreased. As forced induction creates positive manifold pressure fuel pressure increases and thus the amount of fuel delivered increases. This is all mechanical not ecu controlled.
In regards to the above statement Michael, how well would the Stage 2v3 chip work with an OBDI SVX that has an Impreza fpr installed (fuel pressure raised to 43.5psi, instead of the stock 36psi)?
