Default Prepping TBSS for Twin Turbos?

I'm curious to know what needs to be done to this intake to prepare it for boost? Thanks in advance.
I will be using the Terminator X Max ECU and I have installed Fasster fuel rails on it. I'm ready to get this vehicle rolling. It's been a long decade.

The majority of the time, I have seen guys tap the port holes and run pipe plugs in them. Otherwise there's not much else to do. It just kind of depends on what you're working with. Do you have a vacuum block? Do you need vacuum for a brake booster? Where are you picking up boost reference for your for?

Thank you for the feedback.
1)I'm going to be using a vacuum block.
2) No need for brake booster. I'm using a hydroboost system.
3) Bosch Automotive 0261230262 MAP and running Vaporworx PWM.

Are you going to be using Holley EFI? If so, I would highly encourage that you put a fuel pressure sensor where you currently have the gauge. It will make troubleshooting any fuel delivery issues a lot easier.

Even with the use of the Vaporworx PWM? Any particular sensor you recommend? Correct, I'm using the Holley Terminator X Max.

Just use a 0-100 psi transducer in that location. The Holley harness has a fuel pressure sensor plug that will plug right in. I’ve used the Amazon pressure transducers with no issues but other people like the higher dime stuff. Up to you.

Yes, even with the VaporWorx. The sensor on the rail will get logged by the TerminatorX ECU.

A lot of my customers, and myself included, have had good luck with the Lowdoller Motorsports sensors. You just need their basic $39 0-100psi 1/8" NPT sensor.

If I can be of service with the tuning, please keep me in mind.

Andrew, do you have any experience with the Vaporworxs setup? I am just curious. I have never tuned on anything with one.
I am just curious how that will work with a Holley. I'm sure it must work well, but I would guess it would be a little different as it's not just static, as a traditional fuel system.

Donny, I sent you a PM also just in case you didn't get a notification. Also, make sure you setup your Vaporworxs via a pwm output, and not the fuel pump wire, but I'm sure your aware of that.

A lot of my customers use it and have zero issues. I have a custom bucket from them with dual 340L pumps going into my 70 GTO.

There are various ways of doing it, depending on which controller you have from Carl. I talk to him at least once per week about various topics.

Feel free to email me to discuss further: projectgattago at Gmail dot com
