what fuel pressure are you seeing when it hits this wall? bad fuel pump exacerbated by pressure drop when the secondaries open?

fuel system:



stock t2 fuel pump, maybe its weak?

injectors are good, cause they've been swapped round

fpr is good cause the car runs, and idles and stuff



ignition:

ecu:



ecu is good, its been swapped, no change

boost sensors been swapped, also with no change

fcd has been removed no change

tps is good?

no air leaks

it looks like its on there



engine bay smelled bad and oil was a little low.



theres a small leak off the oil filter where it meats the pedastal block thing, but no spot in the driveway and its been fine till now.



im not worried about it, ill just check it often. i just wish i could figure out this problem with the cutting out.

if i cant figure it out by tuesday i guess ill just see how well i can drift without going over 4500.



if you take the fpr vacuum line off, it defaults to a certain psi doesnt it?

i don't think clamping the return line will help... you'd just be doing the same thing that the FPR is doing... to an extent. You need a FP gauge so you can see what is happening while you drive it. Anyone local have one that you could borrow?



My money is still on the pump...
