SAMSXR6T Member 685 Member For: 20y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: CENTRAL COAST Posted 31/10/06 11:36 AM Author Share Posted 31/10/06 11:36 AM had the new fuel pump and intank line installed as per posts.,. car was running rough for the last couple of weeks. I thought that it may have been the new tune that was supplied to me... I uploaded the factory tune back in and then re-loaded the 13psi tune back in.. the car still ran the same .. I thought that it might have been the tune so I posted a topic and was told to cheak all the turbo hoses and intercooler pipes.. I replaced a silicone boot on the turbo and then went for a test drive and the car still ran ,... decided to look at most recent mod that I have done and that was the fuel pump... I pulled the pump out and there it was... a large split on the submergable fuel hose which cost me $350 to fit and install after I had the car towed for 25km to my oldies house...
