sorry I don't have a pic of the install; was done at a shop where they did the whole return fuel kit. Here is a link of the pump that is now in the car: https://www.z1motorsports.com/fuel-s...et-p-5287.html

I just realised that I was running the 11542 and not the 11140 like yourself. Do you know what filter sock the shop used, was it OEM or the one which comes with the kit?

The Stock Fuel FEED Line is very Tiny less than 1/4" inside diameter.

You just CAN"T Pump your Fuel Requirements through that TINY STOCK Feed Line.

Install a CJ Motorsports Stage 2 Fuel System. It works great. Fuel Problems will go away, and will get rid off a ton of crazy tunig issues.

https://cj-motorsports.com/products/...-system-vq35de

Get it with the Aeromotive Fuel Regulator and the Mini Pressure Gauge

Make sure you fuel Pump is installed correct.

Update:
Yes found the issue. It was a failing fuel pump - it actually seized up completely a week later.
I feel it could have been caused due to the restrictive fuel sock / improper installation.
I have installed the DW300 now and the car.
