Fernando has been helping him with his tune, and from what I hear it might be fixed. But his fuel pump died and they still need to get on the Dyno.

Cwczx3 chime in?

i take whatever info i can get from any tuner that out there wether it be Focus Power, Fswerks, Fernando or Mcnews. fuel pump is not holding up to the task so im going to put in a new one. Wanted to do this anyways as im going to use it to feed a surge tank and want it to be in good shape. the one that is in there now has been in the 8+ years now and is one of the recall pumps. Just trying to figure out which pump will drop right in and give the best performance for the best price.

Ok cool, so a surge tank. Is that with a return set up or the stock fuel system ?

So i put in a SVT pump and new pickup socks and fuel pressure is now holding, was dropping down pretty low and getting worse so i'm pretty sure it was on it's way out.
