This has been way more helpful than I thought. Was afraid I wouldn't get any answers. Seems at this point incannotnfind a reason not to do a turbo setup after my shop is done being built. 22000$ in it so far, just for slab and steel. Once it is up and the lift is installed, I'll be ready to knock out as many customer cars as possible and then jump on my own projects while I can.
That AEM has me excited to know I won't need a ton of cash for fuel system.

I have been running the bosch 044 copy for over three years now and its from here in the states. I believe its made in Texas. PEFP is the company. And i paid less than 100 bucks. So far on stock truck rails and 13 psi on the dyno the car made 535hp with deka 80s on 60% dc.

So it is looking like 300-350$ for the deka 80 injectors. Not sure if it is even possible to go cheaper and still have a reliable set. That's better than the 450 or so I usually see.
I wonder how far the stock E85 injectors can push on a mild setup from a 07-14 truck? They are 54lbs. I know they are 110$ new and if using the stock truck 07-14 intake and fuel rails, they are a direct fit.

You can get the AEM 380's for $125 on Ebay. I'd go that route for reliability.
If you really wanted cheap the 044 knock offs are $30. They flow great for the money. Buy yourself a 2 3-way pneumatic valves for $6 ea and run 3 of these pumps. For $90 nothing else comes close. Drill the feed out to -12 and you've got a monster fuel pump for under $100.

No more plumbing than running 2 really. And If you only have one pump running for cruise and have the other 2 kick on in boost it won't heat the fuel much. It will pull some amps though...

What Joe said,
Only difference is I went with Bosch 044 "non-knockoffs", Fuel lab FPR, Deka 80's. I also went with fuel rails, but have been told the stock rails will go pretty far for you.
From what I have read the 044 pumps flow better than Walbro's for higher hp numbers. .

Any input for blow off valve, waste gate, boost controller? Leaning to make one of my piles of **** happen soon. Even have a rear mount turbo setup I'll be doing on a friends Silverado. Going to run a dedicated rear mount oil cell for the turbo as well.

I use a Tial knockoff BOV. I have absolutely zero complaints. If you look hard enough you can score them for $45 or so.
As for wastegates, it's a toss up. The main thing about a knockoff gate is the poor diaphragm quality. Most of them work excellent, but you have to be careful when changing springs or youll pinch them.
I did a write-up here on using a real Tial diaphragm in a knockoff gate after pinching mine while changing springs.
