Brad those reeds look melted probably from extremely high intake temps caused from to small of of a turbo. What size turbo did you have on your sled? Yess I already have an msd fuel pump, automotive return style fuel pressure regulator. I will be reference of the pipe l.
Sounds like you have most of your bases covered! It'll be a fun project regardless. I dont remember what size turbo anymore, its the same one CPI used and those reeds weren't actually from heat although they do look like it lol. It happened 3 times to me before I finally got it figured out. Going from 0 to wide open when boost just started it was too lean and would backfire blowing them apart like that. Went to Boyesen Rage Cage and it still happened but instead of bending the cage, it just broke the reeds. If you plan on running race gas, it'll be fun on 10 psi. The 4psi i was running to use pump gas just wasn't worth the lag. I moved on to 4 stroke yammy's so i can run 20+psi these days
