Started my turbo build! PICS!! Started my ptk build, the motor is a 370ci iron block w/ forged scat H-beam rods, and mahle pistons -15cc. Pretty much stock 317 heads, cometic head gaskets, a 02 Z06 camshaft, a weiland aluminum intake, used all the ptk piping, put a turbosmart wastegate and blow off valve, 17lb springs, manual boost controller MP T76 Turbo, front mount intercooler, Griffin verticle radiator mod, Speed Inc. High flow rails, motron 60lb inj., Aeromotive Boost referenced regulator, dual walbro 255 intake pumps, LM-1 wideband, HP Tuners Pro, boost referenced cut-out, Glow Shift Direct Digital gauges.
I think thats about all ive done only thing i realy got left to do is finish plumbing the cold side, run the fuel line from front to back, and then start tuning. If anyone sees something i should change right off the bat please let me know, the motor mounts are polyurethane and the power steering hoses im having made so i can run them different. Im also not putting the alt. up top because to me that just doesnt look very good, im not running a/c so Im just going to have me a bracket made and put the alternator where the a/c goes. here is some pics of the build:

appreciate the comments,ive got a little more done, im not running the dual walbro pumps, i broke down and went ahead and got a A1000 pump, ran the new fuel line from front to back, wye'd it off to the back of each rail then came out of the front of each rail to a A1000 Regulator and returned it back to the factory feed line which is now my return line, put my steering stem back in, mounted the fan, put the bumper back on, put starter on so its getting close Ive just kinda lost my motivation to finish it.
To Do List:
Cold Side piping
Turbo oil feed line
Turbo oil return line
mount PS pump
Have alt. bracket made
run all the vaccum lines
run wideband stuff
have boost cutout welded up
and lots of tuning

....... im not running the dual walbro pumps, i broke down and went ahead and got a A1000 pump.....
Is there a reason why you went with A1000 instead of dual walbros? From what I've witnessed those A1000's are not designed for a long continuous run like in a daily driver/street car,(it's more designed for a race/drag car that is not being run for hours continuously) they tend to overheat and eventually breaks down. Unless, they re-designed them. Anyway, your build is looking good and good luck!

really well yall are kinda making me rethink this whole idea. aeromotive website says its good to 1300hp n/a and 1100hp f/i. Im not real sure what kind of numbers i will be putting down i was figuring somewhere between 600-750. What are yall's thoughts?

I have a A1000 on my setup, but it is submerged inside the tank. I haven't had any problems with it on for long periods. If you are running it external you should probably get the controller for it as well. I here it makes a big difference in pump life.

It's not really a question of wether the A1000 could support the hp your combo could produce, co'z it will, but it's the capabilty of it to be run on a street/daily driven application, maybe Dan95z28's suggestion is what you would need to address it's longevity issue.
