Default fuel pressure reading? in-line fuel pump

My fuel pressure reads 17psi at idle what's wrong?

My gauge is sitting on the fuel filter? does that make a difference!

I need help, so that I make this turbo run like it's supposed to

17. wow.. is you inline pump hooked up ... after the fuel fiter.. but before the fuel rail?... if so.. you need the gauge on the rail ..

and if the pumps b4 he fuel filter.. then you need to turn that fuel up to 38-45psi

sounds like your fuel regulator took a poop on you.

where's the pump installed?

I don't think my pressure will go up that high, but the gauge is before the pump.

I think my reading was like that when I was running an inline pump on my old car. Are you running a stock fpr or aftermarket? If you are running a stock fpr it should be at 38psi if I am not mistaken.

You said you were running stock injectors correct?
