M8 Powdercoat, Decals and Push Turbo install

Just took the sled apart friday, powdercoated some stuff added some graphics and Fastlane running board inserts, Powder coated my new fastlane control arms will get them installed along with a mountain addiction gas rack. Next will be the new Push pumpgas turbo (should have it by next sunday) with a modified two injector fuel system that can run up to 12lbs?(similar to cutler stage II) Also a D&D turbo Y-pipe and 2010 H.O. pipe. Ill take some more pics along the way.

Got a little work done tonight.

Just for your information if you put a 2010 pipe on a 09 you have to modify your exhaust mount or buy the 2010 mount.. Hits the plug before the mount.

Modified housing and fuel outlet fitting with new walbro pump and regulator, stock pump on left....

Tight fit under the Skinz hood..

Oil pump bolted up and fittings mocked up.. Oil line will be relocated behind the turbo and speed sensor rolocated behind the oil pump.

Finished the turbo install and got it dialed in. Im running 7.5lbs of boost at 2000ft running only two injectors, A/F at 12.2 on the topend for as long as you can hold it open. Running straight 100LL. I went with the Bikeman Y pipe instead of the D&D and I have to say the Bikeman Y pipe is very very nice...

Just an Update.. Took the sled to West Yellowstone for 4 days and it ran perfect. Turned the boost up to 9.5-10lbs made a fuel pressure adjustment and it never touched it again and it flat rips. A/F 12.2 WOT on a pull over 2min long.

Steep And Deep

Just an Update on the Sled.
I put about 400 trouble free miles on it and then the BDX regulator quit working it for some reason was not building pressure, replaced with a conversion that I bought from Dakota Performance, OVS makes it you convert the stock regulator to a 1-1.

I also wrapped my pipe to keep my hood from melting..

I also cut my powder pros and they perform much better this way..
