New to the turbo world, having fuel problems... Im new to having a turbo, I bought a 2001 camaro with a turbo kit on it, all was working fine but today i started having fuel problems. the car usually reads about 56 psi on the fuel gauge, left my house this morning all was fine, got to work (about 5 miles away) and the gauge was at 44 psi. Left work this afternoon and it would go to 52 but no higher, the car has twin 255 pumps so i wired the second pump on thinking the first one was going bad but it did not help. I got it home and the pressure was between 48 and 50 the whole way home. any ideas what my problem is? bad regulator in the tank?
thanks for any info

yes stock regulator, stock fuel system with just the 2 pumps in tank, running 15 psi. this will be the 4th summer with the turbo kit. i have only owned it this year. i bought the car from a buddy who built it.

wow, 15 psi? You should look into a boost referenced regulator. Its hard to give you an exact answer over the internet, but it sound like an issue with the stock regulator, as long as you say its not the pump. how much HP and what kind of injectors do you have?
