Fuel cut has nothing to do with the fuel pump, that's the ECU. What are the mods on your car?

If you are still running the stock ECU with all that, then it most likely is fuel cut. Fuel cut is there to save your engine.

nothing you want to waste your money on!

just take out the mp, and run a cat for now till jan to save your motor or keep the boost low like you are now.

Look for a used Pettit or M2 ECU. You can usually find them for around $300-400 (or stay at 7 PSI as you asked).

Like I said earlier, the fuel pump doesn't have anything to do with Fuel Cut.

OK, how about a used fuel pump, since a new one won't help

how about you just drive slow untill you can pay to get the PFC, and why not just get a used one for less money so you can get it sooner

thats true mahjik! you can get the pettit for now for about 400. then when your ready for the pfc you can sell the pettit for the same amount. they don't really go down in price.

you dont need to upgrade the fuel pump just yet. once you get the pfc you can pick one up for about 200-250 drop it in and have it waiting until you upgrade your injectors. then tune the heck out of the pfc.
