Default Do i need to change my fuel filter?

I have a turbo d16 w/ DSM injectors, sometimes when i turn my car on it immediately stalls because it sounds like its not getting enough gas .. i have to step on my gas to rev it and even when i do that it feels like its dirty or clogged or something ... so i'm thinking its either

1. fuel filter
2. injectors.
3. fuel pump

i changed my fuel filter like 2 years ago .... any advice?

I sure hope you are NOT using the honda fuel pump.

the only way your fuel filter is clogged would be from shitty fuel, which is kinda hard to use without noticing. 2 years old is plenty recent for a fuel filter.

your tuner is an idiot.

buy a walbro 190 or 255 fuel pump for 90 bucks.

the 190 will be quieter then the 255, and should be longer lasting.

your stock pump is ment to drive a 90-100whp car, not 180whp
