Disregard my question Matt. Got it figured out.

My only issue now is the return line must be restricted somehow because it won't drop below 13psi.

Matt, any chance you could/would setup the torque/HP setting in HP Tuners, and compare what it shows vs the dyno reading? I am just curious how close/consistent the reading is, and it would/could give a potential drivetrain % loss.

Matt, would love to see a Fitech 70051 tested, $999 would be killer if it controls engine and trans decent-maybe they would donate one to you, would sky rocket sales if the test was positive

Its the one using ex. intake, etc-kind of like the Holley HP plug and play
Why they gave it the same # with or w/o the intake is confusing.
But if for $999 you can have engine and trans control would be a killer deal.
A buddy has the one with the whole intake kit, non trans control, but not close to firing it.
There are a couple posts on here about it, one has a great screen shot of the controls

Wooo didn't mean to do that lol, 21lbs 16.5 deg 13.3 afr when I lifted lol on e60

funny how this combo continues to surprise me, obviously not ok to make a pass like this but showing the hp capability of the combo, makes me want to do 210s, and a few pumps again and see how far this little turbo and motor will go together

Exactly what I've been nagging you to do on youtube Matt! It really does make sense for the sloppy sensi.

I agree, the 210s are a great budget injector so it goes with the theme well in my opinion.

Whoa! Four Point Great indeed.
650 wheel from this budget oriented and least desirable of LS engine is awesome.

I have been kind of torn bet the VS 78/75 and the 83/75, looks like the 78/75 can make some steam-does it light off pretty quick

I know it's not the "right way" to do it Matt, but how about just throwing in the 210s with the single pump and see how much that raises the headroom from the single pump, if any?

With the significantly greater flow volume of the injectors, it should take a little of the heat off the pump (allow the pump to provide the needed volume of fuel at a lower pressure), right?

That is what I am wondering as well. Is it JUST out of IDC or is it also out of fuel volume?

The two are related, because pumps push more volume at lower pressures. I just don't know how much farther that would take him with that single pump. Might only be a tiny bit more to be had.

However, Walbro 450s are super budget, so if he had to add another one or two back onto his fuel squid in the tank, maybe it still fits pretty well with the theme.

I guess the big limiter is that he knows he's fairly close to the limit of the rod beams.

I think the original objective has been proven. Now a couple of tweaks here and there would show a natural progression of budget minded upgrades that someone with a turbo setup would typically do over time anyway. It sets up a line of "what next?".

Maybe finish what you've started here, then do a slightly less budget version with 210s and maybe a 80mm turbo?

What an awesome service to the community this is. I dream of owning a street/strip weekend car but despair at some of the builds I see that people have five digits into. I'd like to find something 24+ years old not running maybe on Craigstlist and drop a turbo'd LS into. In Texas anything over 24 years old doesn't have to pass smog at the yearly safety inspection, so that's why I mention it. Keeping it legal on the street is a priority for me. Your build gives me confidence that it's something I can do in the future when my kids get a little older.

instead of ported heads, some other cam combo's to see if there is anything to be had with different cam swaps on the street, etc. then ported heads etc...
