Smile Made some progress on the turbo build...
pressure side of the fuel system is plumbed...still need to mount the fuel cell and run the feed/return lines...Aeromotive rates this setup to support 3500 hp

-12 to pump, -10 from pump split into 2 -8 lines to rails. Other side of rails -8 to regulator and -10 return



Mounted the vacuum pump puke tank...-12 line connecting pump to tank



Figured out the "super short belt" mod.... crank and alternator only



Oh...and its now a true drag radial car...315/60/15s...

Build looks first class Are you doing all the turbo set up fabrication yourself? Gotta love the sideshot pic of the meat too.

I made a gasket out of rubber sheet. Had to make an adapter to use the FAST style TB with the Ford style elbow.
