The fuel pump (its not a lift pump like a carbureated engine has) should create enough pressure to open the relief valve on the IP.
I don't know what the ideal pressure should be but someone else might. The IP relief valve could be another reason for not enough fuel pressure in the IP.
There has to be some pressure in the IP to push the fuel into the barrels of the IP.

To check the fuel pressure after the fuel pump I'll have to remove the hard fuel line that goes to the spin on filter and put some rubber hose an some kind of pressure gauge on it. I'll have to look around for a gauge. I have the hose. Once you remove those hard lines it looks near impossible to get them back on, is that right? I could use the other IP relief valve from the other pump I have and try that also.
But it seems to me that ultimately I'm gonna have to remove the IP.
Does anyone know if the 617 NA IP will work on a 617 turbo?
