I'm thinking it is "in tank" because it came with the walbro 450 install kit. I'll gamble on it for now until I put a fuel cell in it down the road.

It hasn't seen any boost yet. I finished it the night before moving my wife to okc to start grad school while I finish out my enlistment in NJ. It's been in a parking lot since, but I'll be back to start playing with it next weekend.

I'm back to working on the truck! Only had a hour a day during my lunch breaks but plan to make headway this weekend.
I had hp tuners 3.0 on my computer which didn't have RTT but I just upgraded to 3.2.15 and I now have it, which makes learning how to tune a lot easier. Wasted two days figuring out you can't just zero out the MAF calibrations if your running a SD tune. Its idling great now! Just need to figure out how to fix the stumble when shifting into gear so I can test drive it tomorrow. BTW a stock lsx Brake booster line fits s10s perfect. I grabbed a fitting and hose from a junkyard and I can now stop the thing!

Been fighting little issues and since all my tools are waiting for me in Oklahoma for when I move in a couple months it's kicking my butt.
So far I've felt 4 psi of boost. But I have a few problems to fix before I continue tuning. Iat's were a little high so I pulled the hood as a temporary fix but I don't have a screen/filter so it's not a good fix. Turbo drain was complete garbage, too many bends not enough slope so it wasn't draining and it was pouring out turbo. No gauges in the truck besides laptop and trying to roll into boost with head turned at laptop to make sure it's not about to blow up is sketchy at best haha. FYI fender exits should have a slight downward angle so it doesn't catch rain water haha solo cup fits perfect as a plug tho.
-Fixed turbo drain (I think) hardlined it at decent angle.
-Got stuff to make a screen this weekend
-Gauges in minus water temp sending unit. Should be here today
-Turbo blanket gets here today. Hoping the$50 thing will help keep engine bay temps down a little.
- zippy performance is helping me with the tune. I'm just ready to do some burnouts.
-Got some tubing to angle exhaust down out of fender
I've also been pretty busy converting my dyna to chain drive.

Pulled wastegate apart because I never checked what spring was in it because it shipped with 2 spare springs. I'm glad I pulled it apart it had all 3 in it!
Still working on the tune. But lots of progress I think.

Yeah idk what's going on with photobucket it deleted 289 pictures of mine! Truck still runs great! Drive it all the time. I'm thinking of switching my setup up to twins if you wanna buy my complete kit and turbo I'd sell it cheap.
