I'm also putting on a surge tank with duel pierburg pumps (one staged). My question is whats the best way to plumb this up, First Option: Run both pumps into one line then at the rail a Y Block to and run each line to either side of the rail and Center hole as return to the reg Second Option: Run both pumps individually to each side of the rail and center return to reg if there is a more preferred option please share! Will I run into any issues with the second option because the second pump wont always be on so ill only be getting feed at one end of the rail till it comes on boost?

Jaming 2 pump flows through 1 small inlet is just creating heat. Your not going to run out of fuel with 1 pump, up to the 3psi or so when the second pump turns on. Will the staged pump need a check valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to also ask that question if it needs to be setup with a check valve Edited 26/02/20 10:03 AM by BoostedG6E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long as the second pump comes on early enough it will be fine. I still use a stock rail, and just jam 2 pumps into the inlet. Would not recommend this setup. The staged pump will either need a check valve, or often new pumps come with a check valve built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defective. New Member 1 Member For: 4y 3m 1d Posted 29/02/20 01:09 PM Share Posted 29/02/20 01:09 PM Actually, first option is the best. Running a separate pump into either side is catastrophic if one pump leans out 3 cylinders cop it compared to all 6 dropping 5/10/15% which is preferable.
