pump is a walbro 255 with -8 lines for the feed and return. I like to think i got my setup done pretty cheap, but i guess it just seems that way since it was spread out. Sounds like a lofty plan, but it doesn't have to be pretty or even all together to be able to drive

I've never had this motor apart so i don't really have exact specs. I'm guessing it has the stock cam, crank, heads and cast pistons though. Doubt the head gaskets are anything special either. I do have a boost retard box on it as well as a wideband which helps preserve things they say, plus i'm only running 8psi or so. Was driving it the other day and it seemed fairly gutless, and wasn't making any boost or turbo noise, couldn't even chirp 3rd for christs sake! Popped the hood and it turned out the tube came off the hat, figured it'd still make the spooling sound but i guess not. Anyways, hooked it back up and now its back to breaking loose halfway through first and spinning till i let up.
