I am running a fm turbo kit with a gt2560r turbo and a megasquirt. I have a completely stock engine with stock injectors. When I was getting it tuned, my tuner said I ran out of fuel at around 5500 rpm. He recommended a walboro 255 and a fuelab fpr. I looked at the fuelab website and I'm not sure which model to get. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you haven't figured it out, you're getting short snarky responses because this topic has been discussed extensively here....... Search and you'll have your answer
Spoon fed pointers:
As mentioned your injectors are too small, but you don't say what HP you're aiming for so not enough info to really guide you here.
Stock fuel pump may be plenty, again HP dependent
Walbro 255 is too big and will out run your stock regulator
Stock regulator will support enough HP for you to throw a rod.

If your tuner thinks you're only running out of pump, then he's not looking at injector DCs. This is scary. Don't blindly trust anyone who has no financial stake if your engine blows.

There's lots of info around this site that would hint to you that that's about where the stock injectors run out of capacity.

Flow Force NA/NB Miata 640cc Injectors with PNP Kit ? Flow Force Injectors
You should buy those. But this is in a lot of threads on the site. It'll work out better if you read the DIY turbo section a lot more, and let this thread die.
Everyone here gets pissed when they see some tuner leading someone down a silly path.

Dude, I mean really? Let me spell this out to you, we don't spoon feed people here, you're supposed to search on your own, then ask intelligent questions if you don't get it. This isn't a suggestion, it's a requirement.....You won't last long here if you don't follow this simple concept.
I actually spoon fed you more than I should to try to jog your mind in what direction you should focus your research. Do me and everyone else a favor and Just copy and paste " rx7" injectors into the search bar and see what pops up.

Tone back the retardation and douchebaggery, it's stinking up the site.
Your tuner is a moron, and the fact that he tunes drift cars makes him that much more so.
No one here is impressed with his/your knowledge and skills if you're both too stupid to realize what is even happening with your car running out of fuel at 200hp.
You want to listen to what EO2K said and start over before people catch on to how dumb and stubborn you are and write you off.
That's if you actually want to learn a thing or two, and not flaunt some "my tuner said so and I'm too dumb to know any better" knowledge which doesn't fly here.

you're asking the wrong question, making terrible assumptions, and believing incorrect info, and too stubborn to stop being so defensive about it.
we don't sugarcoat here.
your tuner cannot possibly have missed the pegged IDC's, and no one on earth would ever recommend a fpr/fp on a 200hp miata, that's just plain dumb.
hence the "better tuner" comment. it's not an attack.

I mean I said in post #3 what the solution to your problem is. You completely ignored it. Stock fuel pump and FlowForce injectors will max out a stock motor power wise. It was only after you got the correct answer and ignored it that people started completely being dicks. MiataTurbo is the thunder dome and we don't **** around. We are ******** to people that don't search, or ask stupid questions, or don't pay attention to our answers.
