Tough picture to get without bothering to open the hood or jacking the car.. but here you go.....

Both lines run off the bottom of the pump, a low pressure line fed by the stock reservoir and a high pressure line to the rack. Outlet from the rack back through the stock cooler to the reservoir...from memory.

Tony -- what's special about the new ride you'll be building? Been out of the loop on this.

Also, kudos to you for being able to register the red car in CA -- they're like ***** there when it comes to inspection, right?

I find the gearing I currently have S2 box, turbo 5th gear and 650mm diameter tyres always worked really well on fast flowing tracks at Dubai and Yas Island where I only used 3rd, 4th and 5th, but I really needed a gear between 2nd and 3rd for the hairpin corners onto straights which there are two of at the local QLD Raceway track here in Oz. I was either bouncing off the limiter in 2nd or dropping out of the power band in 3rd and just not able to get a decent run on to the front straight. Grabbing 3rd mid corner just upset the car.

I need to find smaller diameter tyres like I used to run before the widebody, but there isn't much to choose from in over 300mm width.

This is where I think the V8 torque would really help!
