First, thank you for copying your post and posting in my thread. its much appreciated.....

I dont know where you've seen that you'd need a 110psi pump. i run a walbro 255lph @ 40psi.

to do the driveshaft just order the turbo transmission yoke from mazdatrix. With the rear suspension on the ground or ramps to keep it loaded put the yoke all the way in the tranny, and then slide it out 1". measure from the center of the ujoint hole to the flat of the differential flange. next take the yoke, your old driveshaft and the measurement to a local driveshaft shop and have them make a custom shaft or modify the stock one. I got a custom one and it was $225, i supplied the flange and the yoke.

Theres a few thread around that have the wiring diagrams, try searching the forum with google instead of the search function. the seach function pretty much sucks.

some people run 350+ on these rear ends. its all about how you drive and what tires you have.

I'll be running the same setup, Walbro 255 at about the same PSI, around 40. At least one other forum member runs it in his TII setup, so that'll put us up to 3 running the same pump.

Search around the forum here and look at other people's build threads. There are many tips, tricks, and helpful hints at how to accomplish the swap successfully.
