Yep just different bolts on the Plazmaman tank.

I've talked about group buys with Alex a few times, main issue is there's not a huge mark up on these products anyway, so the lower group buy price may not be too impressive.

At the end of the day, there's really no solid way to do the surge tank set up like these for much less... I've looked at doing my own at a lower cost, but by the time all the parts are added up its close to these two anyway... The only way to reduce price is use cheaper connections, hoses, pump ect... But there's no way I'm selling a cut price fuel system, seen too many fuel system leaks from poor quality hoses and fittings...

I have a surge tank that I made up at work from 4mm aluminium, (cost me a cheesecake to have it welded,)

I got an 044, all fittings (speedflow)

fuel hose and clamps

relay, fuse holder and cables

fitted it myself in around an hour and 1/2

total spend was around $300

it is much cheaper if you really want to do it yourself

While we are talking surge tanks does anyone know if the PW surge tank fits the Territories? I am about to remove mine from my BA Turbo and fit it to my F6X.

fitting the surge tank has made a huge difference to the car , after today at the drags it was very evident, last meet I ran a best 1/8th of 7.7@92mph with bad surging, today I ran a best of 7.4@96mph no surge issues at all, strong all the way to the end of the strip, last meet and today I was still running 60' of 1.6sec
