    premature lockup

    auxilary fuel pump

    The fuel pump hooked to the stock wiring harness does put fuel pressure to 43 pounds at idle with vacuum line off but pressure drops when I go to wot! That is why I feel auxiliary pump is not working as it should. The car has 80 lb injectors and turbo tweak chip to 18 lb boost!
