Well before I posted a while back about my walbro pump and possibility of going bad... Here's the situation.. On the hondata so it's not in relation to high fuel pressures but I just read another post where and individual feels like his car is running like ****. I know I have an exhaust leak at the elbow portion coming off the exhaust side of the turbo, and need to know with that exhaust leak what can it contribute too? I was thinking at fir it was the pump because after diving for sy an hour in traffic and some opn highway I will get home and the fp is at 40-42psi at ilde but will spike down to 30 psi every few seconds, and on top of that after the car is driven forabout 20 minutes or so it feels sorta laggy.. Nw is the total source of my problems that exhaust leak which is contributing to the laggy feelig and feel of the car itself? or is itpossibly my pump just decently wrking but not to its full potential. I thought for an instance it would be a voltage isue from the alternator not producing at 14+volts but that checked out fine.. Please let me know guys cuz if tat's the probem(exhaust leak) Igot a great day aead of me tomorrow. TIA ALOT,

P.S. Is it cool to reuse the exhaust manifold gasket?

Where exactly? Downpipe?

Significant exhaust leaks before the turbo can cause laggy boost response. Other than that they are just loud and cause annoyance. They won't affect your fuel pump.

Yes.

Your walbro probably just took a dump man...What sort of FPR/fuel system are you using?
