A map isn't essential. The supercharger runs na before boost. On part throttle and off throttle it runs off a bypass valve to avoid the rotors so it only makes boost on some throttle.
Obd2 can control up to 40% bigger injectors quite well but not perfectly so it does run a tad rich on idle ans almost dies trying to stablise idle.
But I cant put a map on it if it won't run in the 1st place.

Ok I'm with you :)

Let us know when you've tested the pump with a direct feed and earth.

Alternatively I've got a brand new HRC pump if you wanted to give it a go. I assume yours was brand new?

And we have success it seems.

I got a genuine walbro now. Even stamped on the pump. Took the hrc pump out and there is a big design fault on the hrc that the walbro does not. This I think has caused a restriction in fuel flow.
I'll get pictures up later.

But started her up. Priming sou d way different and it started on the 1st crank instantly.
Fuel pump sou d different whilst running also. A far smoother constant sound. Way quieter than the hrc too. Also it seems to run a tad richer on idle but I suspect it's because it's getting the correct fuel flow now.
Right off to spray my vans wheels.

Maybe a blown fuse somewhere :? Never known a battery light to come on when there is no fault with the alternator!! Or maybe the alternator is faulty, doesn't the light go off when a certain rpm is detected by the alternator :?
