Ok here is what i discovered; please correct me if you think my assumtion is wrong (it would save me about 80$). Problem is that car will not start; when it does it stay idleing for ~7 sec. Then violently chokes to death (probably lack of fuel). Well i tested fuel pump; i disconnected the inlet side of fuel rail, i get fuel spilling all over the place when i turn it over, which obviously means the pump is pumping. Ok well i reconnect then goto other side of fuel rail (with stock regulator). Well i take regulator off and turn it over; i get fuel spilling out of the fuel rail, once again the fuel pump is working up to this point. Ok well i reattach stock regulator and disconnect fuel line that is connect to it. Then i turn it over......nothing, dry as a whistle. So from this can you also conclude that it is my stock fpr that is bad?

This exact problem was just discussed in another forum. Check out the problem here ( https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=146755 ). The answer proved to be that the return line needed to be blown out. But check it out.

kelspar, I'm sorry that this is happening to you. You should solve this problem within a day or two because this is your daily driver and you don't want it getting in the way with your work. Obviously it already has. After two days have gone by and you haven't fixed the problem, it might be wise to just remove the whole thing and find out if the problem is the turbo or your car. If you don't you'll just have too many headaches coming to you in the not so distant future, not to mention wasting your money.
