Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing about the fuel pump, as it’s hidden away in the tank ( I assume ) it would be overlooked.
There is no boost controller anywhere to be seen, so again I would assume it would be direct

I am rebuilding it myself with my old man, we are HGV techs so we aren’t complete idiots when it comes to rebuilding, but we have the help of a good friend who has rebuilt countless Zetecs across the years

I just was hoping to see if anyone else much wiser than myself could think of things to check, as I don’t want this to happen again

many thanks,
sam
Hi !

Did you get to the bottom of what happened to it ?
Had a Mk1 FRS many years ago tuned to 380bhp whit the Gt3071rs from Pumaspeed they had for a while so I know the platform..
Sounds like the engine whent really lean ! Fuel pump... Mad... Injectors.. yeah can be alot of stuff. Best thing you can do to that car making 400hp+ is to get a aftermarket ECU 👍
