the voltage is 3/4 the way up about 14volts, not sure about the ecu it has hks additional injectors and controller for the extra fuel, probably not the best way around it but thats how i bought it...

could it be the fuel pump breaking down, im not sure if its a standard one or not but since its been turbo'd and additional injectors installed i should imagine that the pump would need upgrading, any ideas? by the way i did run it very low on fuel a couple times, and wen i filled her up she ran fine for a few days but started cutting out again theres almost half tank all the time now, and sometimes itll run fine all day...pls help..
