Default 044 Bosch, ck valve

Anyone know the best check valve to buy and where to get it at? Or if anyone has updated and has a pump and valve for sale, PM me, thanks.

Ive run 044 pumps on a few cars and always remove the check valves. The cars always start right up so Im not sure what the point of it is. You might try it without it first.

It's my understanding that with a secondary pump, used under boost only, that you have to have a check valve. I'm just going by what I read, no experience. Can anyone comment on this that has done it?

With twin pumps setup like that it would make sense to have a check valve. I've seen some out of Australia that screw directly into the pump and have an AN fitting on the outlet.

I had an 044 with no check valve and my car would usually require 2-3 primes before starting. I never once in two years got it to start with one prime.

Oh yeah makes sense, I wasn't thinking two of them. There are a few fancy check valves on Summit if you search for them.

You have to actually turn the pump on and off a 2-3 times to get it to start? Ive never had to do that, I wonder what the difference is.
