Im planning on building my own version of Jake's kit. I like the idea of all solid lines, and no soft or braided line. I hate to get off topic, but do you have any pictures of your kit? Im still a little confused about how the kit goes from the factory hard fuel lines to the hard lines in the kit. Ive read that many guys have bought just certain parts of Jakes kit to build their own off of. I take it you like the kit?

Just below the red regulator is a barb connection for a blue high pressure hose that goes back to the pump by the selector switch.

Thanks guys.that's what I figured.I just was curious. I'm thinking im going to see how much hp i can get with stock engine,sticks,turbo. Efuel is a big part now with the pressure droping off. Some maintence stuff and delete the ebp butterfly though I doubt that will make much difference.its all about the details,they add up!


Glenn and gabe...what pump does the irate kit use anyway? I can't remember.I'm just doing a sd replacement I guess

Gabe, I bought a cheapo fuel pump on ebay for 35 bucks that's in my toolbox. I'm running a bosch from riffraff on mine.

That's a good idea. I guess it would be a lot to spend on a back up that would be rolling around in a box. I would just have to make sure I have all the fitting to make the swap if I had to.
