Looking good! Since I'm moving closer to you (not related to the IHI build lol) I will come and clean that engine bay for you at some point! It's all it needs!!

Huh? Where you moving to dude?
London, so technically closer than Cheshire!
that link is a twin scroll IHI welly
IHI outlet flange is all I call it..
****** hell mate you move nearly as fast as your cars going to, pity you dont move as quick updating your picture in your sig

Or your Simpsons quotes!!!
Well if he is busy doing the car he obviously doesn't have the time... I dunno... no pleasing some people ;P
Welly, what are you doing about a fuel pump d00de? wouldn't trust the intank for 630's
<tuffty/>
nice little write up in readers rides in the latest PVW Welly - forgot the mention that.
Huh?
Thats obviously cheap, but if the quality is good may be a good option!
OK, fuel pump arrived today in BIBLICALLY good time. I am so so impressed with the company sending them out. Lets hope the pump is as impressive.
Debating on fuel filter options. Space is tight under the bonnet as we know. Tuffty uses an Ibiza fuel filter on his build, as it is smaller an fits easier.
However, I am considering using something along these lines. Small and from what I am led to believe, efficient. I have a mate using one on his motor, and has been for some time. No need to replace, when it's dirty you take it off, open it up and clean it out... Sounds tempting to me.
Anyone on here used a filter along these lines. Will be a much better fit in the engine bay....

Why not just put the 044 in the tank and keep the stock filter where it is?
Heh, just because one particular person had a bit of trouble installing the pump doesnt mean its a bad idea...
You've basically introduced another point of failure without deleting the previous one, and the OEM pump is surely going to act as a flow restriction?

You've also doubled the load on the electrical circuitry, which could potentially mean a big voltage drop to the pump, reducing its effectiveness?
Your still limited by the overall flow rating of the intank pump though, albeit this will increase when effectively running at 0bar of pressure, its still a restriction over what the 044 can deliver on its own when properly gravity fed or submerged. It may well be that its not an issue for 400hp, but it is still a restriction.
As for voltage drop, how is it laughable? The stock wiring can see voltage drop to the standard pump, due to simple physics and the natural resistance of a piece of copper wire, especially when running high fuel pressures and/or lots of boost which results in the pumps current demand increasing. Running two pumps means twice the current, so theres potential for a large voltage drop.
Ofcourse you may well be installing a second relay and nice fat wires to the new pump, in which case its quite likely to be fine, but that hasnt been mentioned.
