Since the other thread is getting kind of long I am going to start a new one just for the update, I will put new pics and such on the 1st of this thread.



Heres a couple of things I've done so far.



Oil catch can for the PCV system, last time I check it, it sucked a lot of oil into the intake so I thought this might help. especially when the Turbo is in, the PCV hose will moved from the base of the carb to the compressor inlet of the turbo, I dont want oil to gum up the compressor wheel.









The discoloration is from me weld/braze/solder a baffle inside the can, this can is cheaply made ebay item, it cost about 40 dollor including ship, its half assly machined, leaked right out of the box I had to fix it on flat surface with sand paper, lapping it for an hour, and sealed it up with ultra black RTV, the design is without a baffle, just a box with 2 hole and a sight tube, pretty worthless, so I put a baffle in to make the oil drop out of suspension when it pass thru the can. all in all its worth it, since a name brand one cost close to 100 dollars.









heres the Mallory Return style regulator with boost reference. took me a while to find those fittings but ones i got them, it goes in easy.



its regulating my accel ~40 psi elec pump.

pump was 90 dollars.





I welded a return tube on the sender, works well, as I dont want to weld a fuel tank and risk exploadsion



works great but not without trouble, its not from the regulator or the pump but from the 50 year old sending unit, I didnt realize that it didnt have a rubber gasket/oring between the sender and the tank, when I fill it up, I have an exxon oil spill, well at lease it didnt catch on fire.

also some how the float was punchered, so I ordered a new sending unit w/plastic float gasket and locking ring from macs, will be fixing that when it arrives.





heres the turbocharges I am planning to use



the left one is a T4, i think this one is good up to 500HP, the right ones is T-Really big its about the size people use for 800+hp drag cars. both are garrett





i am going to use the small one. may be use the big one if the small one is not enugh.









Heres what i did to the new sender, I welded a tube on it.
