Default Fuel problem

I have a 91 Civic wagon AWD 1.6 SHOC with a greddy turbo kit
it is using the 12.1 Vortech FMU a 255 LPH fuel pump and the black box from greddy for the map sensor
Im running 9 psi.
the problem is in second gear at full boost it'll pop the fuse to the pump
I took this kit off my 99 civic and I didnt have any problem with that car
Any help would be great......

What gauge are the wires for power and ground? Is it only in 2nd gear? I would check the wires and guage size. It souds like a short. The pump may be bad too. Sorry its not much but it got me thinking.

it's the stock wiring and it's the second pump
i think the pump is popping the fuse because the presure from the fmu.
the fmu is raising the pressure and the injector arent putin the fuel out fast enough.
So I was thinking of going with bigger injectors not too big just 10% bigger
I dont want to get in to trying to get my car tuned
