Thanx very much I have one on order.ID parts sells them. No idea what the VW part number is though. I've heard it called the mickey mouse clip before.
I would bet that TG just removed the shims and added a slightly heaver relief spring or added a heavier spring and then shimmed for the pressure they wanted. I have read about some problems with jacking the pressure of these pumps too high. Things like shafts breaking and pump bodies cracking but I have no personal experience with these pumps besides what I have read.I really like your air box and the fuel filter mount
Thanks for the info on the power steering pump. Since I am going to pushing around 37s with hydro assist I need to do something with my pump as well. My buddies 4runner project is at my house and he has one of the upgraded Trail Gear TC pumps so I will take it apart and see what they did to it

Jim, Please do get back on the horse and kick out some good TIG practice. If you don't already know about it go to weldingtipsandtricks.com he has some of the best and simplest advice on the web for welding. And believe me when I say that you are not the only one that wants to see and hear this thing run, I'm about to lose my mind if I don't get it on the road soon.all the custom fab work is awesome...can't wait to see and hear the finished product....your work is inspiring me to get back on my tig and get better at welding aluminum....
Thanx all,
Jaysin
