The 05+ mustangs use a returnless fuel system like previous mustangs and use a PWM fuel controller and fuel rail pressure sensor to provide a constant 39psi of pressure across the injectors. The BAP just gives the pumps more output.

sometype of tial knock-off for the moment, i'll be sure to double check everything, could that ugly coupler i have that connects to the down-pipe from the up-pipe be causing pressure? when i checked to see if it flowed, it was a cold-start so the car was arounf 2k rpm..

Re: My 2006 S197 4.6L 3V Custom Turbo!
houston we have a problem..
it may possibly be my oil return, causing this but im seing oil on the turbo could my return not be routed correctly/enough for the turbo??
is it possible to completely stuff the turbo with oil if it's not returning correctly? :1

Not connected toooo the INTAKE manifold I'm assuming? And if it SOUNDS nice, then you've been revving it or something like that so that means before you get a tune your turbo is going to be shot from overspinning. Why? Because the charge pipe wasn't hooked up and there was no load on the turbo because it wasn't tuned and you didn't want to build any boost!!!
Okay, if what I exaggerated just now is similar to what you did.......thennnnn hook your piping up because it's easy to drive out of boost with it all hooked up otherwise you WILL overspin your turbo and I (and everyone else) don't wish to see the sweet vids and what not delayed on account of "dur".

Nah, I think I just posted my last comment too late and you screwed up your turbo....
On an optimistic note, where ON the turbo are you seeing oil and what does your return look like? Free of kinks, no bellies, 5/8" return, high enough for gravity to take care of it, is your FEED restricted, is your oil psi good and not pushing TOO hard? All these are potential issues, go through and check these...
