How to tell if my Walbro is faulty

Hi,
I have an external fuel pump and my fuel pressure is rather high and on the dyno my pressure says that I am maxing out on my fuel and I need another pumps. So I can't use high boost .

I have an Intank Walbro and also a external surge tank with Walbro. How do I make sure both are working ? I believe one is faulty as before this , I could run more HP.

I am using 2.2 Tomei engine, Motec, , precision GT37 turbo .


Any test I can do ?

Thanks

I am using FIC 1450 injectors

With 1.6 bar , I am getting 650 BHP on crank

2 bar 750 BHP , but its not stable as my tuner said that it was running too lean.

I am able to get 900bhp on full race fuel

This is a video of the evo racing the Mclaren MP4

Is the 400L Walbro a direct fit for the In tank ?
