I will wrap the pipes in the turbo kit first and if I have enough wrap left, I will get the drivers side done then.

You guys think my walbro 255 will get me to 10psi on this 4.8L?

Yes with the hotwire kit...Im at 13.5 psi, 5.3 on 80lbers. That's a lot bigger turbo than the mp70 though,10psi with the s475?? I don't know probably be pushing it.

I do run the hotwire kit so we will see. I would like to run around on 10 psi and get my tune/set up dialed in before adding the meth and bigger fuel pump.

the 255 is good for about 500rwhp which is normally around 10psi

just keep an eye on the A/F ratio

return or return less?

Return fuel system but the feed is only -6. I will bump up to -8 when I put the bigger pump in the tank

I got two out of the four boxes today. Hot pipes, intercooler kit, BOV, WG, and the misc stuff. Hopefully I can get working on this soon but I started a second job this week so I might be short on time.
