Westcoast: You got it. I'm talking about wiring your in-tank like that.

Have you seen the 16 gauge wire that powers it? It runs through the rest of your car's long-ass wiring harness to get there, and through god knows how many connectors. Bypass that sucker if you want any consistency. The wire that's already there is perfect for switching the relay.

Most people who turbocharge their civics totally overlook this. It's great to get a high-capacity fuel pump, but if you can't get the current there, what's the point?

...by the way Paulll, nice intercooler. Don't let anyone ever tell you it's too big. It depends on what you do with your car. It's perfect for circuit tracks. You got a sweet deal on it, too.
