Default Hard start, dealership verdict

Well i left it over night at the dealership so they could experience the hard start. The verdict is the fuel pump, fine with me. New fuel pump almost 50,000kms and warranty covered, i wont complain even if that doesnt solve it. Anyways also brought it in for the boost issue, my service manager said the mechanic was hiting 13. I said was he holding it(probally not, duh!!!)....im over caring now, I am going to get stage 1 soon grab myself the kinetic wastegate, boost controller, and spike 17-18 and hold 16...if will be a very nice feeling.

Yeah mine is bad also, as are my injectors. Monday for me on that one. Good luck getting a pump from the dealer they're on backorder. Common problem? Absolutely, this is my fourth one, every 5 months it ****s out on me. [:@]

I got it in allready, not back ordered for me it looks like. Anyways seems to start good now, i will know for sure when i start tomorrow morning when its cold out. My boost seems to be better in third now though, i was holding 13 pretty good but still holding a embarrasing 10 in second.

I swear to god it is!!!! Im gonna grab my newest VIP and make a post about all of my repairs....but Im slowly finding out that most of the stuff wouldnt have to have gone this far had they repaired other things right in the first place.

So I had the
Stock Fuel Pump - Bad
Paul Bailey's put one in - Bad
Lincoln Dodge put one in - Bad
And now for the fourth one....and a new set of injectors, monday morning at 8:30.

Yeah when i ordered mine the week before last from the parts department they only had one in the warehouse, but Im retarded because that was the Boston warehouse...not one that would supply to you. OOp.
