Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

simple fit and the neatest option. basically just has a feed and return line back and forwards to the regulator.

Only if your regulator holds it at 3 bar.

It will be fine at any lower pressure.

Yep, I've used a 3 bar pump and a standard metro turbo regulator at 3 psi, no problem.

all of them need a return line with HP systems.

For an NA though, i'd just use a facet pump. red top or the like.

would i be able to use an spi tank instead and by pass the fuel pump and use an external pump and would i need a return feed?

I am only askin because i don't know, i am fed up with fuel leaking from the filler cap.
