The PW and PM ones have the rubber around the pump and the bracket is rubber mounted as well. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82838-surge-tank-anyone-looked-into-this-option/#findComment-1324842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come across this looking for a used PW unit and had second thoughts.Panda you are correct, after all the money I have spent on the new engine I shouldnt skimp on this.

My condolences for this post Anyhow, just purchased a Plazmaman with bosch pump and wiring kit all ready to go.

Other than not being shiny I am sure it could do the job of being a surge tank. But you just wouldn't show your mates as its not shiny (not that you can see it anyway) And if its not shiny it might not go fast. IMO having a noisy pump there is a bad idea in the first place.
