A stock one with a stainless steel wear ring

pump is plastic or aluminum?

As for the air intake....7' of 4" 620wd kana-flex hose, 4"x 3" reducing 90* bend, a 4" coupler or two and a few ss clamps....maybe a 4" 90* bend...been a while since I made one. Not sure of the last one...can't remember if you're gonna need help getting around the motor in the stock location or if the hose is flexible enough to do w/o that 4" 90*.

They're junk...which is why I asked in the first place. Prolly the biggest reason you're having hole shot probs. Do a search on the topic. lotsa info out there on the subject.

First step in your search for a better whole shot is to replace the plastic pump with the newer aluminum one. The plastic ones will flex and cause premature wear ring failure and cause cavitation issues. In your case with a stainless wear ring you can do even more damage when it flexes to the impeller and possibly (but not very likely) driveshaft.

After selling more than 500 of these air intakes I now have a closeout sale on them so that I can focus all my efforts on making and selling only intercoolers in the future. The new price is $179 + shipping. The next couple weeks will likely be your last chance to get one if you are at all interested.

If you have any questions feel free to ask via PM or email so I can respond quicker. Thanks!
