how can u lower ur operating pressure without the low pressure kit?

Get a reg, volumizer, lighter main spring, heavier valve spring, and youre going to have to get a t fitting and a male to male for the vertical adaptor to pu on the volumizer.

i nver knew that volumizers were made for a 98, u know where i can pick one up?

It comes with the low pressure kit. Try calling tippmann and asking for one seperate. They should be able to provide you with one

if i had all of this: a reg, volumizer, lighter main spring, heavier valve spring, how much would it lower the pressure, like waht would it be at?

i thought you needed a light valve spring. i'd say the pressur would be at... 450psi maybe. im not sure

i dont think there is a pre-determined range when you go LP, you have to tune it yourself to achieve the best operating pressure.

besides gas efficiency why would you want to? If you using compressed air, just get all day fills or a bigger tank.

LP has a fw big advantages, ofcourse, assuming you do it right.
1. quieter
2. you can lighten the hammer, and in turn blowback (less kick)
3. qentler on balls
4. more efficient (if done right)
however, there are disadvantages also
1. it can acutally be less efficient because it requires a larger volume of gas to get the ball moving at the same speeds
2. the gun will (in general) starve easier because it requires such a large volume fo gas
im not saying timmys posting the wrong setup (it works fine), but what he said to do was basically make you own LPK which might cost you even more than buying a GTA one, i would just go with the springs and reg, also, if you could find a place where they sell parts for the GTA LPK the redesighned valve would be the ace in the hole, probablly allowing you to get down to an extremely low pressure (compared to the stock one). another good idea would be a gauge, no bragging rights if you cant say how low your gun can go.
