where did your post go Dan?
anyway, i'll try to explain to get some answers... Today we finished putting Dan's (Srcub) car back together, but we're having some issues with getting it to run. Here is what we added since the car has been out of service... it was running perfectly fine before we did these mods:
Supra Fuel Pump, 1600cc secondaries, HKS twin power ignition, BNR stage 3 turbos with NON-sequential conversion... also, he sent out the PFC to get reprogrammed and set-up for non-seq. (may be forgetting something)
before it was running fine, but wasn't tuned perfectly... was running rich. his other mods include, V-mount IC/rad, HKS intake, DP MP CB, silicon hoses, PFC w/ commander, and again i'm sure i'm forgetting something.
the problem we ran into today is, we got the car back together and tried to start it, but it wouldn't fire up. it would crank and crank but wouldn't fire. we hooked up the battery to his mom's protege and tried. it helped, but still wouldn't fire. Dan then primed the fuel system and it would start, but only run for 10-20 seconds before dying. it seemed as though there wasn't enough fuel getting to the engine. Last night, we finished the fuel system but we were only getting 10psi of pressure on the FPR guage when we turned the key to the accessory ON position. we were expecting to see 40psi, but nothing we did would change it from the 10psi we were getting. today when we finially got it started, it the pressure would rise, but i dont know exactly how much, as i was in the car starting it and dan was watching the guage. but the car would die shortly after. my guess is that there is something wrong with the pump, or we did something wrong to not get full fuel pressure. we didn't really smell any gas, and there were no leaks of any fluids... i really don't know what else to say, but i'm sure Dan will add his perspective once he gets home.

Is the gauge before or after the reg? Have you checked the voltage to the pump or tryed switching the pump back to the one that was in there? If I was putting money on it I would say it is the pump.
