What's the logic there? Pump stops pumping? OR that it pumps at low pressure and the motor runs lean? (I run a wideband and have the knock reading on the SAFC as the main reading when driving.

I'd of thought that if a drop in fuel pressure was going to blow my motor up it would have happened already with the few times I've had fuel surge issues and misfired because of it.

In which case I'd do the same thing as I did then, stop driving.

Not disagreeing, just opening up for discussion.

Just thinking, should I also be considering an adjustable regulator or do I just assume the stock one is fine?

I'm also on the fence about whether this Bosch pump will flow enough fuel, I realise the kpa ratings are within the limits I need (supposedly 300kpa base fuel pressure plus another 120 or so to account for boost) but the LPH just looks so low.

Stock reg is fine. Why dont you just buy 044 there cheap enough?

Any issues with mounting the surge tank in this location?

Hole in the spare wheel well for hoses.

The surge tank plate prohibits me putting it in the wheel well without decent modification and new fittings between the pump and surge tank.

Here's my surge tank located in a wagon - so I have had to make a steel cover for it.

Do you guys know what the rules are on sealing the boot in? I'm planning on using just an aluminium sheet over the rear firewall, do I need to cover the parcel shelf also as it has those speaker holes. I assume so?

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
