Default Walbro fuel pump install on 2006

Started my turbo install and this is the first hang up....only minutes into the install...

All the pictures I look at on here have different pump assemblies than mine. I don't know if they changed in 2006 or what. Anybody have any pictures or advice on replacing the pump in an 06?

My main issue is I can figure out how to get the new fuel line hooked up. It is a complete different set up where the line plugs into the the regulator. I don't know if that makes sense. On the pump it has a nipple that you push the line over, but on the regulator it is a female connector that you push the line into and seals. I can't figure out how to get the line to seal in the regulator.

Thanks,
Dan

You can go to Magnuson's website and download the Radix installation manual that covers the 2006... within that manual is instructions for the fuel pump upgrade...

I just used mt stock pump.I figure if it can feed E-85 then it will be strong enough for my setup.500rwhp and no pressure loss so far.

magnacharger website has the 2004+ pictures....but it is different than mine. At this point I might have to just use the stock pump.

Edit- I just looked at the magnacharger site for 2500 trucks and it has the right pictures.

What I don't have is the brass connector. Do you think a NAPA or a autozone or something would have something like that? Does anyone have the size of that connector?

... call Magnuson and ask them to sell you the fitting I have their kit in my tank... but I bought and sold a Radix kit too. Last I knew they do sell parts.
