My tuner said something about having to wire it in when i got my estimate.... anyone one know for sure???

Thanks

With most of these higher flowing pumps you can't just plug them in. They will last for a short period of time.

I used a fused 10ga wire from the battery to a relay under the dash. used the fuel pump fuse as the relay trigger and ran the wire to the back. grounded the pump to the frame in the back. i re pinned my factory connector on both sides.

zero issues for about 5k. Four 4+ hour road trips logged. ( the car isn't my daily)

Im using an AEM 320.

Turned the key on to make sure everything was on the up and up, and OMG, just hearing it prime let me know I was good.

OEM lines are fine correct? I'm being told that I need to replace factory lines or the e85 will ruin my lines. I thought I could just use OEM lines.......this is why my estimate was so high.
