Was buttoning things up on the car today, very rough idle while i cleaned up but thought it probably just needs timing set after the swap, when it died. Added fuel incase she was dry but would not start! Checked that the coil was getting power and then moved to the valve on the back of the fuel rail, fuel was barely coming out so figure it has to be the pump itself  Do not want to replace with a stock fuel pump only to take it back out in the winter and replace it, so looking for recommendations for a pump that will be up to the task for a bigger turbo. Use the Walbro 255 in my Audi, but before i order thought it best to check in with the experts Thanks |

We sell multiple pumps but can you refresh my memory on the year and model of vehicle all this is going in?

1988 Mustang with an 88 turbo coupe drivetrain. The plan is to follow one of your recipes for a 300ish horsepower - FMIC, bigger turbo, PIMPsX and all the bits that go with it
Possibly get into the head down the road

So I found out what the problem was today, and hopefully it fixes two problems. One the starting issue, and second the key position problem.
Borrowed a pump from an f150 and after a little messing about I was sure it wasn’t a fuel pump issue - sprayed all over while checking lol. While trying to get it started notices that if I pushed on the bottom steering column cover the car would start without moving the key 😳
Pulled off the cover and the ignition switch fell to the floor in pieces. Not sure if I broke it during the swap, but a 14 dollar part from LMR will hopefully fix it
Hope someone can learn from my mistakes

I can see one pic.
Looks like you've got pumps with two different sock styles. One with the small offset sock inlet, one with the large "full diameter" sock inlet.
