But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

juses , replys replys lmao ,, carnt really reply to every one , but a massive thanks guys ,went on some test runs , and ive hit the first problem , lol
well ive hit first problem , (nothing seroius as yet lol) , the dam fuel tank problems , as evern thow theres battles in the tank , fuel is escaping and the fuel pump is draging air i reckon as it keeps makeing horried noises , like air and no fuel and i was lucky to get up the road with it as well , so thought chuff it ill rip the tank off , and fit the standard mk3 vr6 in tank pump and then add this other pump inline , few pics

then made a straight step to kep fuel in the bottom ,plus a gauze to stopp fuel runing away


but evern thow now the pumps sounds 100percent better ,i think like a **** ive piped it wrong
heres a quick daigram to explain

 ive piped the feed from the intake pump direct to inline high pressure pump to the filter and fuel rail ,
but the return from the fuel rail is piped direct to return of the intake vr6 pump , which im sure is wrong , because as it fils the intake pump it then returns inthe return fuel hose , which im sure i need to route the return to the tank and the vr6 pump as well

carnt belive a silly return pipe giving me a head ahe lmao,,, but yes i will defo get some vids up as once this is sorted ill be tuning this week end guys so should have some footage lol , but i was rather inpressed to say to the least as its so werid to drive , meaning as it i carnt see point in haveing a gearbox , as every time i blink my eyes i have to keep changing gear lol , 4wd works too , i tryed off a round about ,and hit the gas , fook me , it gets hairy lol , i dearnt floor it as its not tunied right yet ,,and dont wont to blow the engine with learn fuel or advanced timing knock
