New Fuel system and Turbo (pics)

Its been long over due to upgrade my old setup, been running a stock -se pump and a cheap msd in parallel. Using just some cheap parts store fuel line to connect it all. The setup worked great for 3yrs at 240whp, but i really wanted to up the hp level, and didnt have faith in the setup. So i when popped my S5 TII engine last month i decided to upgrade at the same time.
In my new setup i really wanted to do this as cheap as possible without sacrificing reliabilty for a 300+whp. So after a hours of research i found all my plumping needs from aeroquip. I found some compression fittings to use the stock -se fuel lines, at 5/16 they are plenty big enough to feed engines at 400+whp. I also found a braze on fitting for the -se massive 1/2 feed hose on the pick-up to convert it -8 AN. I used their socketless hose for a few reasons. I didnt want the hose to chafe, i wanted a easy install, and really didnt want to cut my fingers apart on the stainless braid. I've been using a stock S4 fuel rails, i didnt want to buy a aftermnarket one, but wanted to use AN fittings. I couldnt find any fittings for its thread pitch from aeroquip. i was half tempted to drill and tap, but a i finally found the correct size fitting from earls.
I used a aeromotive fuel filter, a free bosch 044 pump, 4 -se injectors, and compact aeromotive reg. Since my filter came w/ -8 fittings, the pickup was -8, i plumped my feed to the pump -8 and then -6 to rest of the way. Enough here are a few pics. I hope to have a tune done soon, pretty curious to see how much hp this knights sports turbo will put down on 14lbs.
