Thanks man! I'm planning on reusing them and just moddifying the hypermax up pipes to fit them. I'm curious how it will work honestly.

I havent seen many pictures of people using them but I hope to see some pics of how you get them to work! How did you like them while na?

I liked them na. I felt like it pulled all the way to the governor vs before it felt like it would nose over on the top end. I dynoed it at a rally once and did 135hp with a stock injection pump that I never turned up any. Just a stock reman pump.

Well since getting back from the rally I now have some new found ambition. It was great seeing everyone's projects and just made me want to finish mine up more. My big project for the day was finishing up what was left of the fuel system. I had already made a bracket and mounted the fuel pump, but it all needed plumed up.
After installing my previously modified pickup tube for my 38 gallon rear tank I was able to get the tank up and in. By the way anyone doing the large tank swap figure on buying new tank straps or modifying the skid plates. The bulge in the tank where the shower head sits is larger and rubs the skid plates. I just bought new straps since I don't really go off roading with my truck.

I also was able to finish fitting everything with the turbo thanks to a friend who tigged up my oil drain tube to make it 1.25in longer.

Next step is to hopefully get her setting in her new home. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here on out!
The larger rear tank is on my list also. That oil drain was a little tough to weld just because the metal is so thin.

Yeah it was. Ben welded it for me since I don't have a tig, but even he burned through once. I had talked to mel about a longer one, but he didn't realize it was too short. I think he is going to work on that for future kits. It seems when Hypermax made the drain and feed for him that they didn't **** the turbo like Garrett says to. I'm sure the future kits will be remedied.
put a hose clamp on that pick up

Why? They never had one before. I have never had one come off since they are squashed against the bottom of the tank.

Which Cummins drain did you use? Everything I found online was like 21inches long and had a funky o-ring piece on the end.

I may have to look into that. I'll have to measure the one I modified to see how long it actually is. I personally would rather one that wasn't weled up like I did to mine.
you should extend the return line on the sender also. really want that below fuel level as much as you can. stops areation and drainback.
