Re: what fuel punp do i need for turbo 2.6?

Just leave it on the ground haha. I have no idea where you could mount it lower than the tank, alternatively you could buy a surge tank, use one of your facet pumps as a lift pump and mount the Holley lower than the surge tank.

Re: brake light short?

Problem sorted, a 5 cent price and super glue. Where the brake light switch is at the top of the brake pedal there is a rubber gromet which was worn out, so I glued a 5 cent price to the gromet, no more brake light problems.

Re: carby mods

Haha yeah fair point guys but some people out there prefer the more classic look or design, eg restorers ECT. I will be injecting soon but until I get my forged engine built and sort out what computer I want to buy it is carby and water/meth injection.

Re: carby mods

I had an old post asking about an fuel pump that went a bit off track with peoples carby modifications so I said I would start this post. If you want to talk other people through how you went about upgrading the carby that's what this thread is about, cheers ted
