I'm an idiot, the T i have that splits the carb line has the gauge in it, for some reason i thought the gauge screwed into the regulator.....

if your looking for 500 hp u need a 83 gph gallons per hour to make 500 hp. the expert blow thr carb guys say fuel pressure 7 psi at idle; say 10 psi boost, 6 psi for line loses for bends turns ext in your fuel line system to carb. so for 10 psi of boost you should be able to have 23 psi fuel pressure and 83 gph.. I donot know on your 318 but I think u whould need about 10 pounds of boost to make 500 hp
Well i'll pick one along that line, thanks!

I've been using the 255 walbro and mallory 4309 reg. for years, -8 feed and return with no pressure creep problems. You are going to want a gauge to read while driving to verify the pressure is increasing with boost.
'72 Scamp, 3500#, 440, S400, blowthrough, meth. inj.
9.78 @ 139 so far at 12 psi, 11.00 @ 131 on real street tires.

Thanks for the info, didn't think of a gauge inside that would be a must. Frickin fuel pumps are expensive

Got the 2 in 1 done
With the Turbo in place i have 1 1/2" hood clearance to the compressor housing is that ok? Enough room to get a blanket on it?
Also can i mount the wastegate toward the front of the pipe that the turbo flange is mounted to? thanks!

it together.. dont run a T like that and how thick is

I got a chuckle out of that pic. I love the parts store crinkle bend exhaust tubing! From reading this thread it seems it should be called boosting on a budget...
And yes, definitely Y the merge point.

He is gonna need a expansion coupler in between the
2 sides so it doesnt crack the two when it heats and
cools
