what fuel pump are you running? also, don't you need some kind of check valve so to prevent the first pump pushing fuel into the pump that's off?

Deatschwerks said that no check valve is necessary, there is a drainback valve in the pump and it should be able to hold the pressure.

I run Denso's like this all the time with no check valve.

what exhaust? I've had the Super Legalis R on it since it's been swapped. You shouldn't need to make a downpipe / midpipe if you have the same exhaust since it's turbo back.

is it turbo back? i know you have an aftermarket turbo so you had to make a short pipe right?

i don't have the front cat on my setup which is why i'm wondering if i have to make a pipe section for the first cat.

sorry i'm still on the stock twins and had a full turbo back fabbed up but i didn't like the piping and the fitment was off so i ordered the fujitsubo one. so i'm wondering if i'll need the front pipe like this:

You don't need that, just use the stock one. You'll start overspooling the front turbo and end up with this:

lol i don't have the stock one

i was gonna fab up a restrictor ring or make a midpipe with a cat in it but you're saying it's turbo back so i'll probably just end up using a restrictor ring

my boost controller also has an overboost function though so i think i'm okay

Use a 2.5" restrictor ring with no boost controller. The overboost function won't do a thing. With that mod you'll run 12-14psi which is the max you should run on stock turbos anyways.
