ok.. first off.. my car is about 70 miles away from me.. and the guy at the shop i took it to doesnt want to install the fmu.. hes afraid he will mess it up... my question.. can i drive it back from his shop to another shop here in houston to get the fmu installed?
my setup is.... green top injectors.. walbro fuel pump.. with the old cavalier connections turbo kit...
should i be able to drive it back here??
here comes the boost!
u could but u would have to stay out of boost the whole time. so its risky
DRIVE HARD OR DONT DRIVE AT ALL!!!
you dont need to stay out of boost the WHOLE time..
with those injectors and pump you should be fine.. do you have a wideband?
with those injectors and pump I hope you have an afpr

well i didnt get a chance to drive it.. the stupid exhaust shop beat me to it and @!#$ up the fuel pump
here comes the boost!
thats why I dont let shops touch my car. EVER.
Shops have hourly workers that screw things up.

yeah well this was a friend that he said he knew what he was doing.. obviously not.. so now ill be stuck without a car for another few weeks... my life is great right now!
here comes the boost!
Installing an FMU is dead easy.
If you have the pump and injectors IN the car, yeah you can drive it back, just don't give it too much throttle and baby it back home.... if you hit a few lbs of boost don't freak out becuase those injectors are big enough to handle it even at a stock fuel pressure.
If you're on stock injectors, you can still drive it but just avoid boost if you can...
Either way you should be able to get it home if everything else is buttoned up and installed correctly.

ok so now the guy at the shop says the fuel pump is no good.. im gonna order a afpr monday.. the accel one.. and put that on.. plus get someone to install the fmu.. should i be okay running the stock fuel pump at 4psi til i get the new one.. this is my daily driver and i dont have a lot of time to let it sit at the shop
here comes the boost!
as far as AFPR's go... the only brand I recommend is Aeromotive. They are THE fuel system company. As far as fuel pump goes... Walbro kit for the LT1 motor. Don't do that inline pump crap either, it's a waste of time and money.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

Don't try to tell that to Adler.
Also, people have made 300+ whp here on the stock pump I believe.
