Follow up (now that i'm out of meetings for the day) - the surge tank (diesel fuel filter) is pressurized (to a couple psi) by use of the aeromotive regulator. Return from rail goes back into there. In theory system pressure is bumped overall by doing this, but we've noticed negligible difference. And as Shane said, the parallel pumps are one or the other.

Ready for battle this weekend, Racing GP2 again with World Racing League at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI! Wish me luck, the suspension is much better this time, with good pit stops I think we're an easy contender for the class win.

Thanks guys. I'm well aware she's pretty fugly, but to me the function comes before the form. Hopefully we can work on the 'form' in the offseason - radiator duct, cleaner front bumper, splitter, bodywork and paint job.

Looks good!

Good luck.

I'm not about flashy or bright. I'd much rather win and have nobody realize it :)

Unfortunately we lost an alternator on saturday which took us out of the running (still put down fastest lap in GP2 by a good couple seconds with Shane doing a 1:46.41 and I did a 1:47.XX)

On sunday I drove first, getting out of the car in 4th overall/2nd in class, Rob got in and within 20 minutes the turbo seized. I have never seen a turbo fail like that, i'm interested in doing a teardown to find out why.

Car has some more bugs to work out but it is obvious to me this thing will have no problem with the speed required to go for a win.

Curious with a turbo, does your gas tank empty out quicker than some of the other cars?
