Default Fuel Pump Update

So I installed the Walbro 255 and when I turned the car on to prime the pump to make sure that the pump was working, and the pressure shot up over 100 psi. I had to dismantle the intake and take the right fuel rail down to my brother's shop and we blew the return line out. I wish I had a video of my brothers face as a wad of what ever was stuck in the return line shot out and almost hit my brother in the face it was hilarious.

Now that I have all that done, the car seems as though it is running lean, I have not re-adjusted the AFPR.

Thanks again to all for all your advice.

No it is the GSS307, it is the regular 255 pump
