On hotlinking, I've also found that its space sensitive as well. Don't leave any space between the

I've never had much problem , and none of mine have leaked. Maybe I'm just lucky.  Some assembly lube works well as a lube for the bigger stuff. The -3 mandrel from Summit is a must for brake lines. Makes them simple.Grant Hughes |

Found John's setup on ebay for ~$70:
mine came off a MB 300 SE: only thing I don't like is that the way it is plumbed, The pumps push/pull through one another....not sure how that would affect everything when a pump dies... -Tom DemonRallyTeam | Fine Tuning | CTS Turbo & RP Turbos | RalleyTuned | JRM | Meister Autowerks Spitfire EFI | Product Apparel | JVAB Imports | NLS | AP Tuning | USRT Add us on Facebook | Next Event: 2013 Olympus Rally June 22-23 Olympia, WA |

Here's a pic of my setup - its installed on a 3/8" piece of aluminum, which acts as a skid/crash plate as the setup stays in its stock location under the car.
Each pump is on its own relay and its own switch. Although each pump has a check valve - w/the 10v turbo setup - I tended to run both as it seemed to provide more fuel at 14psi boost. Now - I have no idea (flow vs. pressure) if turning them both on actually helps or if having one off leads to some sort of bleed back? The last image, I believe is from one of JVL's rigs...
