Ok that is the stuff I changed so far. So I can get the GSX to start after I try cranking it like 10-20 times. It seems to me that it's losing all of it's fuel pressure after I turn off the car and let it sit. This happens consistently if it sits for more than half an hour. I can hear the pump come on but it still seems like I'm not getting enough fuel. It idles ok but it just seems like something is off. I'm sorry if this isn't making perfect sense I'm just extremely frustrated. The MPI relay is also making a clicking sound if that means anything. If it is idleing and I ease it to the gas it's fine but if I push it it bogs down but then revs up. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
 
I have only had the car a few months and this is my first turbo DSM. I haven't hacked the maf so it should be complete. When I first got the car it ran pretty good, I changed the intake to a Dejon setup, and did the plugs/wires and had no problems. I left the dash open for a few days and the battery died and ever sense then I've had this problem with getting it to start. First I changed the fuel filter, then the pump, and now I have no idea where to go from here.
 
I just installed a fuel pressure gauge kit on my car and turned it over. I'm getting 35-36 psi from the tank but after letting the car sit it starts to slowly lose pressure. The gauge was reading 22 psi after about 10-15 minutes. I checked everywhere but can't find a leak. Any ideas guys? Here is the link to the gauge kit I installed.

Ok so I go back downstairs to see if I can get it to start now that I at least know I'm getting pressure to the pump. I turn it over and now my damn right blinker is coming on with the key in the acc position. Now green arrow and the lever is in the middle so it shouldn't be on at all. It just started happening. What the hell?
 
Your leak my be around the actual fuel pump itself, might want to pull it out again and make sure it was installed correctly and nothing got loose and moved around.

As for the turn signal I'm not sure what to tell you, this was happening to a friend of mine with his brake lights (even off the key was out of the car) but it just ended up being a switch under the brake pedal. There's a member on here named Steve (wiseman) who could probably help you with this, just send him a message with the thread url and see what he says.
