DIY turbo setup questions

[440dart]

iam looking to pick up a used aerocharger with airbox ect

what fuel pressure should i start at?
what is the best fuel box iam running an attitude right now with my twins i have it sold?

Anybody know where i can get some instructions on setting up the older style wastegates on the aero its a little different than the new ones?

Iam just not sure what fuel box to go with i dont mind the attitude but if theres something a little better for tuneing i would rather go with that, i already have egts and a wideband

I would start with the stock fuel pressure. I am partial to the Dobec boxes (aka Attitude, Pure Logic what ever). Just make sure you get a program that will work with the turbo you will use. (Find somone who has run your turbo with their program.) Depending on the turbo, air will flow through the motor differently requiring different fueling setups, especially if you use a 53 series Aerocharger. They are a small turbo and require more fuel to run properly vs a 66 series or properly sized Garrett. You will also need to pay attention to the regulator you use. If you use a 1:1 ratio regualtor with a box setup for a say 4:1 ratio your fueling will be off. Good luck.
