no fuel pressure under boost
Well, I was trying to get my car tuned today and the car ran fine,but as soon as it went into boost the fuel pressure gauge is showing the fuel drops to zero.
I have recently around 2 months ago changed my pump over to a bosch fuel pump from tpis.com. My setup also is 42lb svo injectors with with holley adjustable fuel regulator with procharger fmu. i am running stock fuel lines and stock fuel filter. any ideas anyone? other info on the car is in my sig.

Re: no fuel pressure under boost
Also check the lines so they dont are squezed or bent, so they are a restriction for the flow..

Re: no fuel pressure under boost
you don't need a regulator and FMU. If you are going to tune it in the computer, throw away the FMU.

Re: no fuel pressure under boost
The FMU is a fancy fuel regulator. It increases the fuel pressure as it senses boost.
