Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
sounds about right for setting up the pressure. as for the pump, i asked on a theturboforums a while back and they led me to the walbro 255. wasnt a steal but will be adequate for the power im planning on making. found it for $90 on ebay with free shipping. came with the fittings and mounting hardware.

i will be running the inline. seems to be a pretty popular pump.
In-line is my plan as well, and then I want the regulator on the firewall hopefully near the master cylinder. But everywhere I want to mount it, it would cause a fuel line to travel across empty space to get to the carb and I'm not a fan of that. I'd rather it stayed attached to something if you know what I mean. Lines floating in space is not appealing to me. So I'll probably figure that out later.
I also have a line on fabricating a carbueretor hat from aluminum with a neck to attach to the intake piping and will have a flange for the blow off valve. Should run about $40 to assemble it. More on that when I have the pieces - should also look nice, and eliminate need for one extra clamp in the turbo piping. We'll see how it turns out.
I also might wind up with about 4 carbs for this when it's done. There are some very nice people here and on .org that want to see their old turbo setups put to use rather than sit. I am getting an intercooler as it turns out because the price is right, and fits into the build budget, and since the cheapest way you can get piping is to buy an entire "intercooler kit" and you get a lot of pipes with different bends with it - you might as well run one.
Once I get a hold of the the intercooler, that may be the first part to go on, as it may require cutting stuff to get it in where I want it - actually i know for sure stuff will need to be cut. I either want to run it at the bottom of the radiator frame where that small shelf is, or behind the grill. I have a big radiator so hopefully it won't block too much air flow to the actual rad. I also decided with the new onset of having to run electronic fuel delivery to the carb, that i am cutting the fan out of the equation for now, until I see an obvious need to run it.
I have to keep in mind, that I have a (stock?) two wheel alt, and I am running a modern stereo, HID headlights, leds, 400w amplifier, etc... there's electricity being used, and the fuel pump will add to the draw. Then a fan on top of that... once I go fan, I think a new electrical system is in line, and now we're talking about more modifications.
I hope this junk helps someone out in the end, because remember the focus is not just on budget, but next to zero downtime for the car. I think that may be a point of interest for those turboing a daily driver.
This week, I am going to drain all the oil out, put the new oil filter sandwich on, mount my feed line, return line, and then zip tie them up out of the way and cap them off. Pop my new wix 51515 on there, then I'll refill with oil after the return line fitting drys thoroughly. That will eliminate the oiling system from the stuff to do list, and will be that much closer to "bolt and go" operation. Lots of tuning for sure... but you know what I mean.
