Default 408 t6 91mm turbo fuel question...

So I'm getting ready to do the fuel system on the car and have a couple questions.....

Should I ditch the plastic tank and sump a metal one?

If I do run a dual pump, should I run the second one off boost or a switch?

If boost is there a write up on how to?


I have other questions but as of right now I'll keep it simple.
My buddy has all the lines at his shop so I won't be going with a sponsor kit as I like to do my own work. Thanks

Stock plastic tank is fine, just keep it over 1/4 tank or the pumps start overheating.

Dual in-tank pumps, run both full time or hook one up to hobbs switch. Either way you need to hotwire them for full voltage (I HIGHLY suggest getting the painless or comparable harness for this part).

A lot depends on the application. What fuel? Street car? Show car? Roll racer? Track monster? Dyno queen? Max boost and hp goals? How far will it be driven in a single trip? Will it sit in traffic? All of these factor in HOW you wire them up, which pumps to get, and how big you need to go on everything.

Dual walbro 255 lph, -8 feed, -6 return, upgraded rails fed in series, and 60# injectors are good for about 900whp with pump gas.

Gotcha. I read the stickies before. I'm going to sump a metal tank. And I'll need more than dual 255s. I want to overkill rather than come up short
