On another note I did build a cool little surge tank that I mounted under the hood instead of one of those ugly monstrosities I see in people's trunk. I took a piece of 5" truck exhaust pipe and built a top for it out of 5/8" steel plate that was tapped to 1/4" npt and for the pressure port was tapped to 1/4 npt on both sides for a fitting. I welded it in and installed the inside piping and high pressure fuel pump. Then I welded on a 3/16" thick bottom plate while cooling the whole deal with water. It holds about two liters and the pump inside is a 350 Lph pump so it can support a ton of horsepower. The lift pump sending fuel to it is a carter something or another and has a strainer before and 10 micron filter afterward. It should keep me from having fuel starvation issues because of the no sump tank. Turbo engines don't like that at all.
