this is stupid question. i was wondering can i install my fuel pump and injectors and start the car to see if everything is running fine? just to make sure the fuel is running ok and no leaks.
a good way to test for leaks is repeatedly turning your key from off to run (don't start the car) this will build up fuel pressure and leaks should be evident. If you injectors are any bigger than 450cc, you will probably have problems starting it.
what fuel managment are you using to scale doen the amount of fuel you are putting in. BTW this is a very smart idea to put as much non-turbo stuff as possible. I have put a lot of things like Uberdata, fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, resistor box, vacuum manifold, etc.. I had trouble with many of these things. Many I corrected within a few days, but it would have been harder to diagnose with a turbo on and so now I know when i will start my car with the turbo it will only be the turbo, wastegate, DP, IC piping or BOV that can be the problems. This narrows a lot of things down. GL with your setup
