Thanks man!
Haven't heard back from yank or forced inductions yet, should know more by the end of the week. Got bored at work last night and started on my fuel lines, still trying to decide on what fuel pump/s? I plan on running one of the new walbro 400lph pumps with a hotwire kit, was also wondering if i should add in another 255lph or aero 340lph on a hobs switch when under boost..... opinions??? Do you guys think the 400lph walbro can hang with 750-800 wheel?
-8 feed line, might run -6 return right in to old feed line at fire wall?

Just talked to Dave at Yank, Converter is done and on its way, had very good experience with them, got it done real quick. It did need a new clutch, said someone had been locking it up at the track or on a dyno? Bought it used though, I know that Zippy doesn't tune for WOT lock up and it hasn't been on the dyno all season. Talked to dave about the new setup and he said to tighten it up to a 3400 with the extra power ill be making. Can't wait to get her dropped in. Still haven't heard back from Forced Inductions yet on the 80mm Garrett, they are probably busy im sure. Been piddling with the motor a little, got most of the sensors installed and the L92 intake that im gonna run for now put on, its lookin good! Im thinking i might break it in all motor while im saving for all my exhaust/cross over/down pipe/intercooler materials?

Also picked up a Aeromotive A1000 pump and controller for dirt cheap this weekend at a local swap meet, planning on getting the pump rebuilt just in case and then going with a 20 gallon fuel cell?? Does anyone know if someone makes a fuel cell/water to air tank combo?? If not ill just do two summit racing fuel cells one 20 gallon for the fuel cell and maybe a 2 or 3 gallon for the water to air tank.

Foxer, that pic of the intake on the engine looks like a TBSS intake??? I didnt realize the L92 intake looked like that. Is that off a Escalade or something? Go get some overtime and get that turbo mounted. I am anxious. LOL. Easy for me to say! LOL. Looks great.

Why dont you test the pump first? Probably nothing wrong with it although i have read there were some duds. I use the same pump. Havent really worked it hard yet though. It WILL get worked hard soon though.

Sounds like a tank venting problem to me. The tank is vented to the evap canister IIRC.

When i picked it up you could see a little bit of dampness around the edges where it seals, i want to at least get it re-sealed? Still not sure if i want to go to a fuel cell yet though?

Well some updates! Good and Bad lol........ Got the converter back from yank, looks great, very fast shipping, tightened it up to a 3400. Motor is in, working on customizing the stock l92 fuel rails and waiting on my fuel pumps to come in (going with a twin in tank for now). Now for the bad news.... Called Forced Inductions Yesterday because i hadn't heard from them for 3 weeks on the turbo, figured they were busy, no big deal, called for a status update and they say there is no information on my turbo even being there? So i guess its lost at the moment??? I do have a fedex tracking number showing that is was delivered on Jan. 23 and signed for by Jose. Im sure they will take care of me, just another set back. Gonna run the motor for 500-1000 miles with some Joe Gibbs break in oil before i put the turbo setup on, wish i had some long tubes laying around lol. :burnout:
