I can't wait till I get the new pump tomorrow. Hopefully, it pops right over.

I've been thinking it would be good to test the stock FPR as well. I just haven't had the time or tools. With the NA pump in the car ran fine, when driven around the block at low rpms. So, I'm hoping that means the FPR is fine. The new pump came in this morning and as soon as I get my injectors back, I'll let ya know what happens.

The best way is to get a fuel pressure gauge.

"Special" like the little bus....
Yea! my car runs again!! I put the low pressure walbro in and it starts up fine. I have a power issue, but I think its still running rich. I pulled my plugs and the front rotors plugs are black i.e. rich condition. The rear rotors are spotless however ?! Also, boost is low, maybe around 6psi at WOT. I attribute the low boost to the rich condition =, but the rear plugs looking spotless while the fronts are black puzzle me. Surely, I connected the injectors back correctly?? Correct me if I'm wrong but the injector plugs are wired by rotor and not by primary/secondary right?
And "yes" the timing and coils are good.
