Default trouble with drag turbo kit

I just put a Drag Gen 3 turbo kit in my 97 integra and I'm having a lot of trouble. I can't figure out how to put the new fuel pump in. Also at low rpm my car is sputtering and is very hesitant to go. I have to drop it down a gear to get it to go when I didnt have to before. Can any one help with this?

Sounds like you need to get the fuel pump installed as well as get the vehicle tuned. If I may, what form of engine management are you running?

I dont understand, hes not makin boost at that low rpms so why is the car sputtering. I plan to put my turbo on my built engine and break it in untuned with the stock injectors and the vafc at 0.

if your using the DRAG kit you should be using a vortech FMU. you should run your fuel pump in line between the fuel filter and the fuel rail.

Since its a drag kit, and your running fmu im assuming they inbcluded an Inline pump. It needs to be installed inbetween the fuel filter and fuel rail. You have to cut into the stock fuel line(This is why I hate inline pumps)

I have the fmu installed and the inline fuel pump. now it runs fine as long as I slowly put on the throttle but if i try to punch it, it chokes up.
