Thanks man, it is a 10 footer right now, i have a lot of clean up todo under the hood, mainly some wiring...

BTW, i am loving the converter you speced for me! it is great in boost it does not push past it at all, and it loads the turbo very well!

I like how you did the install. On mine though I mounted the intercooler directly under the crossbar. I had to get longer bolts from HD though.

And you're Able to control it at eight PSI with the 40 mm wastegate?

I believe i have a 50mm wastegate. Boost is very controllable. It never goes past 8psi and with various throttle positions i can run lower boost. .

Do you have the fuel feed going to the regulator first then to the rails?
