I may have missed it, but where is your external pump tied back into the system at?

It's a return system so everything goes back into the tank. Is that what you are asking?

I was asking where the outlet of the factory pump and the outlet of the secondary pump merged together in the system, but I saw in the pictures in your other thread.

Ahhh gotcha yeah that setup works great some people disagree with it but CK knows his stuff and I haven't had any issues besides my issue that came before I put a secondary.

I will I'm anxious to see if this fixes it. yeah I couldn't simplify it any more unless I got rid of the stock line coming off the hat which I should of done plus they don't make a -8an to 5/16 quick disconnect or I would of had a few less fitting but it's cool. At least I don't have to worry about running out of fuel...ever!!

So finally some good news!! For the first time ever my fuel pressure jumped up under boost about 10-15 psi maybe more(gotta focus on the road) usually it would just stay at 58-60 psi even after my hotwire, 255, bap, secondary, bigger fuel rails, return style it just would not do anything it would just stay at 58-60psi. I got around 550 miles on the clutch and let it rip. Boost went up 2psi(smaller pulley) so hitting about 11psi on the D1 and saw my fp gauge go from 58-60psi like it always had no matter what I did to 75+ I think it's finally working like it's supposed to. I need a tune so I dont want to do back to back runs but so far things are looking great. I think my stock line that i replaced may have been the culprit. I need to see where i tossed it to see if I can at least find root cause of the issue this whole time. Feels great!! lets hope it works out but it's looking very good so far..

Forgot to update this ..I'm stuck at the same point as the original problem. Guess I didn't drive it long enough for it to rear it's head but back at square 1. I have a temp probe that I will be getting some data on the actual fuel temps. I will be inserting it in the fuel hat and see what I get. I should be doing this sometime next week so I can have exact data/measurements then go from there..oh the joys
