"In terms of design, there is one small flaw. The pump body itself is sealed between it's OD and the flange's ID with an o-ring. Similar to how the factory HPFP is sealed within the vacuum pump body. But with the XDI, neither is sealed to the vacuum pump itself. Only the flange mating surfaces tolerance between the vacuum pump flange and the fuel pump flange allow any kind of seal, possibly allowing oil to weep. You may want to use a tiny amount of carefully applied sealant, being careful not to use excess."
Actually I had my 25 year master mechanic buddy over my shoulder the entire time doing the install, and he commented on that as well. (Ironically its why I use plurals sometimes during the video, since its me and my buddy supervising! lol)
He suggested and added a VERY thin coat of some sealant, not sure what, against that flange to the body to just makes sure.
I cannot wait to get my car back to the dyno and some updated tunes after that to really start to draw on what this pump can do.
