Both pumps installed
The 2 studs are for the second pump. Both will have separate relays and dedicated wires to the altenator

80lb deka injectors

Looks amazing - any shots of the turbo inlet pipe? It's got to be tight.

Was going to buy a power steering relocation mount but decided to make it instead

Fits nice next step bolt the pump on
Works great, next step is to move the altenator

Made a lower altenator bracket to kick the altenator out, the ear on the top left is to mount the trans cooler line to
Better pick in the correct orientation. The tube at the left bolts to the stock altenator bracket then the altenator swings out and bolts to the bracket in the right

Getting the air filter pipe to the turbo was kind of tight but worked out nice. I welded a bracket to the filter pipe and installed captured nuts so I could bolt threw the altenator bracket into the filter pipe
Getting closer
