Need help with my 89 turbo no power to fuel pump

To clarify, by running the 30amp fuse you damaged the wiring and had the wiring redone? I would continue to look at that as the first step.

I believe the fuel pump doesn't come on with the ignition (i.e. turn the key and hear the pump run - I wish it did). It starts as the engine starts (someone can correct me if that is wrong).

Can you straight wire the pump (direct from the battery) and hear it run? That will tell you if the pump is even good. It could be the pump is bad and drawing more power than it should in order to run, hence killing your fuses.
