9psi is way too much. :cry: I use a Purolator square one (5/16" lines) on Barney (twin HS4s) and a TRW square one (1/4" lines) on Ha-Ha (45 Dellorto). Both these pumps are the same as a Facet one. I mount them on a Mini square centre exhaust mount to shut 'em up... 
Most spares places carry these pumps, or can get. Both pumps are running without a regulator, no problems or flooding. You will need to run a 12V+ wire from ignition switch, or bottom fuse. |

is that one what i need and is it a good price? That's it, slightly below rrp but not by much, probably dearer when shipping is added. |

ok my last question: id say the black wire would just be earthed on the chassis but where does the + red one go so that the pump only works when the ignition is on (clubbie by the way) |

If you are going to Turbo it, you'll need pressure..... I run a Holley Blue pump on mine, it can go to about 19PSI (With out mods - mine can go to about 24Psi  )
Need a rising rate Reg though.. luckily the Blue comes with a reg that can be modded to suit..... drop me an email if you need the details.... They are Noisy, nasty and Loud... but by god, I've never had a fuel-related hassle yet ! remember, you'll ALWAYS need at least 3Psi ABOVE Boost pressure.....so if you run 14PSI Boost, you'll need 17PSI Fuel Pressure...
