no man, thats not how you install the fuel pump. you dont need to drop the fuel tank. you can get to the fuel pump by removing the back seats of your car

In honda Civic EF's The tank needs to be drop to get to the fuel pump. I already check this. I took my backseat out and only found the Sending Unit and not the actual fuel pump.

I would suggest fuel pump first off then ignition but take it to a shop and have it tuned or just looked at...

i would go back to your tuner and have him check out the fuel maps, sometimes these things can develope a "hick up" in the tune, i have seen it many times, sometimes it may call for a retune on the dyno. U also may be maxing out the fuel pump. But my first choice would go back to the tuner to have him check the fuel maps, see where it stop sending fuel in any areas, have the wideband on it, if its starving fuel your car is leaning out very badly, will cause more damage in the future.

Do you have a aftermarket fuel pump? The factory one is only good to about 190whp

You map sensor is getting confused when it see's boost. You need to put in a 3 or 4 bar map sensor in there and not use that missing link crap.

Did you have your car tuned on the street or dyno or did someone just write a chip and tell you that was good. You need to have a real tune done if they didn't tune the car while actually driving it or dynoing it

I am pretty sure that if you just bolt a turbo up and try to boost it right away, you are not doing something right. I have seen this happen with my buddy's s2k and he fried his rings literally like onion rings. You might just want to putt around for a while and show off the turbo visually until you tune it. I hate to see a blown engine.
