runnin lean

[madhat]

w/ current setup(below), I actually get a check engine code telling that I am running lean sometimes...I can feel it too! rough idle, always trying fall on its face... My 30# injectors are stuck in the car for a while until I get the trans rebuilt(cant take 3rd gear slipping anymore). But, If I were to upgrade my fuel pump(I can spare $100 or so if it will fix it) would that help my car atleast be drivable? And if so, what pump do you suggest? I'm not looking at getting bigger than that ta49 or going any lower than 12s...so I dont need a pump thats good to the 9s or anything that hardcore.

do you still have the stock fuel pressure regulator?

that wouldn't explain a rough idle though. a cheap fuel pressure gauge from autozone might be a good temporary investment. could save you a lot of money in a new fuel pump. also isn't 30# injectors a little consertive for a bigger turbo and yourset up? i would think you should have something around 36-42.5's but i'm not expert.

the problem lies in that the guy before me started to build the car, but didnt finish...the bigger turbo w/o the upgraded fuel system.
yes, there is an adjustable fuel reg...it is set to 43# w/ vacuum line off.
I plan on upgrading my injectors, but I currently am jobless and cant afford them; can take ~$100 shot to the pills...
gunna check out racetronix.com as well as my local turbo regal guy to see if he sells it.
