my plan is for my whole fuel setup to be a vortech fmu and a dsm gsx fuel pump at about 5 psi. so total thats about 100. that fmu will need to be replaced by 8 psi and the fuel pump should do anything i'm planning on. (Maaaaybe 12 in a year or two, i think that was the upper limit on stock internals)
I think the gsx pump is somewhere close to the 190 walbro and it much much cheaper. so check that out.

the vortech's are intended for superchargers but work fine for turbo'd

all of that stuff sounds pretty cheap but what about the turbo headers, are they pretty universal or do you have to get them custom made? i'm sure not all turbos have the same mounts, er do they, i am a real noob when iit comes to turbos. they scare me
^ Yeah, you need different flanges to suit different turbos. You also need to have a turbo-manifold with or without the mount for the wastegate, depending on the type of turbocharger you have.
However, I don't think the turbo-manifold design is as crucial as that of a (naturally aspirated) header... Just short runners & solid construction (i.e.: good welds, thick sidewalls on the piping & lots of gusset reinforcement).
