Also, the way I have my return line on top of the trans the fluid would have to go up without the pump on to get back into the case, and the diaphragm should stop it from draining back through the pick up line. Again, after I get off my lazy *** and actually get everything installed I will have more information for everyone.

I am going to try and wire it to my foglight switch so the little fog light icon lights up on the dash when it's on so I know for sure it's on or off. We'll see if that switch works.

The con about mounting it under the MAF is that I can't ever upgrade to the more straight IC pipes that route right through there. Oh well.

Trust me you wont need a light to know its on, it is that loud once you run fluid through it. The insulator doesnt help much at all, id put it on but I couldnt tell much difference from mine without the bushings to my buddies with. I never run my pump on the street (yes my car is still streel legal). Its just way too loud and annoying to run around town, strictly a track use thing. As for lines, I went with the longest lines I could get on the car, mine total over 10 feet, the reason? more fluid

Hey i was wondering, Do you think running a lightened flywheel would make a differance? On and off the throttle through turns or straight line, wouldnt it help in putting less stress on the transmission?
