Going to check it in the back really isn't a huge deal for me because how simple it is. Vengeance made it work so hopefully they can give input.

Can't you just see what voltage range your oem fuel sensor uses to determine the range from empty to full and apply that information to your working fuel sensor? I personally would not g.a.f. because race car but..

Here's how I run my fuel lines, I just cut the back bottom of the trunk area. The setup is pretty good and the pumps aren't screaming at me.
Sorry some of the photos are poor quality due to lighting.







Here's a couple pics of the Aquamist direct port system. I'll be able to explain more on the system when I'm on break but here are some pics for now.



























I'll have installation photos up shortly with manifold removal drill and tap for the direct port.

So as far as the Aquamist system goes I have it set up on a dual map with the haltech system. I have the aem electronic boost controller tied into the haltech's Auxiliary inputs and I have the Map switch wire from the meth kit going into a DSI input since it switches faster then an AVI which is better suited for additional sensors or boost control. The Aquamist controller has a built in Relay that will be grounded when it is triggered i.e when the gauge is turned off it turns off the meth kit witch will automatically switch the map on the fly to the No meth/ failsafe map. It can be done in between races during races after etc. so when the map changes it will also change the boost setting since the system is all tied togeather. Once the car is up and running I'll display how it all works on video.

Flow sensor pressure sensor turbine sensor etc. Injector duty, Gauge, Map sensor, boost control, failsafes map switching. It has a lot of features. You can run the kit how you want though.

Got everything nice and ready I'm just installing a new starter then testing the meth kit and it should be ready for tuning. I'm still deciding on the D3 catch can or GZ vaccume pump kit

Making my own catch can set up as it's the most cost effective way -10 from each cover. Used some basic home improvement tools and an old welder. I picked up a moroso can and some -10 goodies and braided lines. I'm not too good so please don't bash.

I also grinded down the boss on each side because it was very close to the bung. I was pretty careful with the drilling so that I don't punch a hole through the baffle.
Thanks Dudeman and the guy with the 1.5 mile vette for the tips

Just needs to be tuned professionally. I tuned it myself but just for start up and cruise still rich and I need to make more adjustments. Hopefully by then end of the month it'll be good to go.

Default turbo choice

Why not just go with the Precision 88, unless you are concerned about class restrictions?

Because this better fit his Hp goals, no need to go massive unless you plan on using all of the turbos potential. This will spool insanely fast and still make 1200
