    So i just did a walabro fuel pump but i havent been able to drive it until today. when i stepped on the gas in 2nd gear it sputtered and the revs jumped up and down then the check engine light flashed 5 times and it hasnt come back sience. be aware im awating final tune so my car is only running 10psi is it just the turbo cutting out because i am reaching 10psi or is it something worse.

    Thanks Nick

    revs jumping up and down is not your set-up running on wastegate pressure, it's something else.

    Honestly it could be a million and one things. your best bet it to get a cel codes pulled instead of guessing. FYI- the fuel pump installation is pretty straight forward and not likely to give you cels. do you have cobb ap or know someon that does?

    Your not leaking fuel are you? There could be a possibilty that your leaking fuel pressure. Possibly the hose from the pump to the sender may be leaking.

    or do like i did. Buy a tactrix cable and install Enginuity and learn how to logg your car. With ecuflash and eginuity you can do way-way more than what you can do with 500+ dollar engine code reader. Just my .2.

    make sure the fuel pump area was sealed all the way too, i remember having problems with that before with intanks and poor seals causing air to seep in
