i dont know but some Vls use 2 fuel pumps, im 1 of them. FLWLSS im planning to run low 10 soon, but i cant boost my car more than 13 psi without a surge tank and a fuelpump.

But I was looking at getting a 044 and im pretty sure that u do need bigger lines! 2 x 044's LMAO what a waste of coin these pumps are designed to flow HEAPS.

So, if you were starting from scratch, would it really matter if you bought a VLT or a VL N/A??? Seeing as your swapping out most of the stuff......

Just a quick Q for anyone in the know. If I am to take my Bare engine(Head & block) Into the workshop and hand over 5k what will I get? My plan is to spend 5-6 on the engine and 5-6 on upgrading the rest of the stuff. Ie fuel sys, EMS, Turbo.
