First, glad you got it working again. It's always something simple with these cars that can stump the hell out of you and have you wanting to :wallbash

Now for the new question, do you mean you turned the key to the ACC position or you turned the car all the way on? If its in the ACC position it sounds like what you are refering to is the pump priming as you speculated.

If you even have the slightest doubt that the pump isn't always working right then you might want to make sure your pump isn't about to shit the bed on you just for peace of mind. Bust out a voltmeter and see what is up w/ the pump just to rule it out.

A bad/going bad pump would definitely affect fuel delivery and no fuel + boost= hole in block.

As far as hacking the maf/removing honeycombs, i hope you have a logger handy to make sure you aren't leaning the crap out of the car, especially if you have a 14b and dinky injectors.

regardless, happy boostin :cheers
