    Yeah, at the price they sell for, I would be hesitant to run them myself. I've done my fair share of "cost savings" only to eventually buy the part I should have bought in the first place.

    Considering that Brice found one which mechanically failed, is why I bring it up.

    Yeah if the nizel is f'ed up, might be getting poor atomization and fuel droplets in the combustion. Can deff cause way high AFRs.

    I know what a failed pump symptoms look like. You're truck won't start.

    I'm currently on the stock ecu and injectors and it's still running rich.

    Remove your battery and reset the ECU if you haven't done so already.

    Do you have a spare fuel pump or other? You could rig up a test with the fuel pressure regulator and a gauge, similar to the injector test.

    Except the fuel would just circulate into the FPR, and back into the pump's reservoir.

    When you reset the ECU, it'll take a while to recalibrate your LT trims. Also remember you will be rich at startup. Make sure you are reading AFR's when the engine warmed up. Lastly, when you unplug your battery, it takes a good while to discharge your capacitors in your ECU so make sure its disconnected for a good anount of time.

    As you go forward, a tip for troubleshooting; don't get tunnel vision. When you have an issue, get a list of all the possible issues and rank them from most propoble to least. Then rank them from easiest to hardest to troubleshoot, followed by cheaper to more expensive. Generally I tend to try the easiest/cheapest fixes first.

    I would run the run the truck for a bit on the stock injectors and reset ECU and see how well the LT/ST trims adjust. Keep monitoring fuel pressure. If it stays high (only read it when the engine is warmed up), swapping the stock pump back in is a good idea.

    Which state is your truck's current form? Stock injectors, turbo, stock ecu, and upgraded fuel pump?

    Correct. Just took it out and did a bunch of WOT stuff and it pulls and shifts hard. everything seems to be in check. Boost is at 4.5psi with the MBC fully closed.

    Pretty much at this point. Either that or in my mad quest to replace parts I killed the issue lol

    Some pictures!

    Wrong ebay turbo rebuild kit. (got the right one from CXRacing)

    IMG_20170411_185640839.jpg
    Boost gauge in clock position, red key halo, color matched LEDs (need to do the the AC switch and HVAC controls still).

    Gauge and halo

    Trims

    IMG_20170415_132835570_HDR.jpg
    Changed the shocks on the aspen

    IMG_20170415_131953415_HDR.jpg
    KYB gas shocks. These improved handling and ride quality all around imo, way less body roll and bounciness.
