Plumbing boost activated aux fuel pump
Thinking about rather then using the speed controller with my Eliminator pump plumbing in a Walbro 255 to run the car then using the Eliminator as an aux pump when under boost (and possibly ditching the eliminator at some point for a 044 bosch as aux pump).
My question is how do you plumb it? I'd imagine you'd Y in after the elminator, but the problem I see with this is wouldn't the pressure go back through the aux pump when it is off and send the fuel back into the cell vs. pressurizing the rail?

why not just add a fuel cooler? personally i've run my tank down to fumes street driving and i have the magnafuel 4303.
the 2nd pump is a good idea, but what if a relay goes bad, hobbs switch doesnt work, etc. and you end up going lean and pop.
just my 2cents

Why circulate 1200hp of fuel when you only need ~25hp on average?
I Yed two Walbro 255s together and kicked the second one on at 2psi. 1 pump could due 525whp through a MT before it ran out of ***.
