I've also just received a Star gun from Wholesale paints. Mine is a S-106T 08G, but it's an S Type general purpose gun (with a plain chrome air cap) rather than an HVLP with the green cap. Did I get the wrong thing?
Yeh, with that compressor you need a conventional gun. HVLP needs massive ammounts of air flow to work properly..
