Hello All-

Just finished installing electric fuel pump and spin on diesel filter. It is working great. It is set on lowest setting and I am running down to six or seven psi if I am giving it gas, and eleven psi when I come off the throttle then back to 10 psi for idle. It never goes higher than eleven psi but I wanted to check if it is OK to run that high.

One more question, I will be installing a banks turbo kit and will need to get the banks oil return plate to work with the new chevy block off plate. Can I just put a hole in the plate to match the banks return plate and make my own gasket to fit between the plates? Might sound like a dumb question but I don't want to end up with diesel in the crank case.

Thanks for your help,

Bill

for the turbo return plate you can use one off a 6.5 TD. The pressure sound ok on the Raptor. I am running one on my CUCV. 7-8 PSI is fine. I would go much higher than that or it could affect the cold advance or so i was told.

Does anyone know the part number or where to get one?
