Re: Evo X upgrades

Here are some more details about the BlaqOPs double-pump install.

We grabbed the + feed from the main feed from the engine compartment to the fuse box (looks like an 8 gauge cable) and tapped into ignition on using one of those ATO add-a-circuits at fuse 13, which is for the cigarette lighter. These two wires run in plastic wire wrap from the fuse box to the glove box (if you look behind the radio from the glovebox you'll see a passage-way. I used an antenna that happened to be lying around to feed the wire across).



The ground for the BlaqBox was one of the brackets for the Sirius radio behind the glovebox.



The BlaqBox (boost progressive controller) is Velcroed to the Sirius receiver behind the glovebox.



Behind the passenger side front strut tower there is a plastic grommet that can be punched out to run wires through to behind the glovebox. I punched it out with a screwdriver and then ran a pick through the padding on the other side. Then from the inside I used a utility blade to cut a large enough hole in the padding to run the vacuum tubing through that hole. In an ideal world you'd use a grommet to protect this from chafing but I didn't.



I ran the + wire for the secondary pump under the passenger-side door sills (they just pull off, super easy) to the fuel hanger.



One of the more annoying parts of this install is going underneath the car and cutting the stock fuel hoses from the hard lines. We replaced both pressure and return lines with 30r9 5/16th hose.
