Yeah, seemed like you were missing something in that set-up.

Happy boosting!!

I have a GSX in tank pump. I m going to see how that works first, then add an inline if needed.

Damn looks EXACTLY like my current setup. I too have a GSX in-tank, it's not going to keep up with that 12:1 FMU, though. When I dyno'd, my inline cutout and my A/F ratio was like 16:1 at 6psi! I would definately get one or not get on the throttle too hard without it, bro. Also, hopefully your downpipe lines up with your exhaust, I had to get a flexpipe made to compensate for the offset, just something to think about. Good luck.

heh, that's what I was gonna say...
I'm planning on my install in maybe 2-3weeks (turbo's in the mail with other crap) and I'll be interested in how yours goes. good luck!

An inline pump will be much more benificial to your set-up. Forget the intank unless you have some sort of standalone and larger injectors.
