So do you have to "trick" the FPCM? Or is it happy just filling the surge tank?

Right now we have the pressure report sensor tricked into reporting the desired fuel pressure. As far as functionality, it's perfect, there is however a check engine light that we can not eliminate, so we are still working on that.

Another thought, this probably would not work very well with a front mount turbo setup. Due to the heat from the turbo and down pipe in such close proximity. What do you think?

Definitely a valid point, I don't know the answer. I would imagine testing would be required to really know the answer this.

I thought about it, and decided not to swap blower pulleys, and just leave it alone for now and get track results in the form that it's in right now. I want to see how fast it is at the track at this power level first, then I will decide what's next. My goal is to just make this a 10 second daily driver truck. I don't think it will run 10's with this power level, just want to see how fast it actually is first.
