My racetronix pump didn't have any kind of check valve in it. My fuel pressure would drop immediately after the pump got done priming. I do have a check valve installed now because my inline bosch 044 would make noise until the lines filled with fuel without it.

I would for sure install some kind of check valve eventually otherwise the whole idea of the fuel pump priming at key on would be useless but it isn't necessary to start and run the car.

Just letting you guys know that the car is running. The tune so far is really good. I'm going to take it for a spin tomorrow and see how it reacts. Hopefully if everything goes well I will post up videos by the end of the weekend.

Sweeet man! Congrats! Look forward to seeing them.

That's great news. I was actually just thinking about how this was all going this morning.

G.I.Ceo · 09-08-2013, 11:39 AM

Well I haven't gotten any videos yet but let me tell you this thing runs awesome! The tune is absolutely perfect and this thing runs smooth. I never thought it would ever come out this good but it is so much fun to drive. I cant thank Mike (Milzy) enough for all the help, the shipping parts back and forth, and tuning this car. I know people give him a lot of crap but they really shouldn't. No one knows these turbo GA's better then him and if it wasn't for him I'm not sure I would have this running now or as well as it is. His tune that he did for me is really aggressive and this car has never ran so good or at least this well since the first day I brought it home 11 years ago. If you want your GA tuned right then Milzy is definitely the man to see. He helped me out more then I could ever ask for. So I will still try and get pictures and videos but today is football day. Go 9ers!

I said the same thing.

Congrats on getting it running though! Sounds like it is idling well.

Keep a close eye on that fuse box after running the car for awhile... I know you have heat tape on there but trust me I did too and mine started to discolor.

If it does cause issues wrapping the downpipe can work wonders. I can place my hand on my downpipe when the car is warm.
