Definately Wait. you just spent a few dollars getting your turbo setup. You dont want to go an screw anything up because you were inpatient. I say, bolt what you can on but find a ride elsewhere til your pump gets in. You've waited this long already. What is 2 more days.

Don't drive your car. Don't be stupid. Its not that easy to always keep it out of boost all the time. Sometimes you accidently go into boost. If you do drive it I see a blown engine in your future.

Installing a fuel pump takes about 30 minutes. Its easy and quick so you don't really need a full day off work to do it.

Hardest part is jacking the car up to get to the fuel line.

i ran on my stock pump and stock injectors for almost 4 weeks, until I realize that my inline wasn't working. However I was safely able to run 5psi, and no more than that. So if you want to run on stock pump, don't boost over 5psi.

I had to run just the stock pump for a bit when the inline took a crap..I have the 8 injector setup though...When i hit like 3 psi, I could just see the FP gauge drop as rpm went up hehe..So yeah, don't boost with the stock pump at all.

Your question is confusing ... Are you referring to a new Walbro in-tank or a 2ndary in-line that you're waiting on? If your installing a turbo kit and have an in-line fp you can run your turbo on the stock in-tank fp. But, if you just have a stock in-tank and are waiting on an Walbro I'd wait. I wouldn't run my car on just the stocker in-tank w/ a turbo. You either need a bigger in-tank or a secondary in-line.

What kit are you installing?

Disconnect the wastegate control arm from the turbo. Just pull the cotter pin, and pull the actuator arm off the wastegate flapper.

That way, you'll run zero boost and wont have to sit around wating for UPS to show up.

Edit- but if something happens and you end up going into boost at all, you'll go boom.
