That comes out to $328. There were other nominal cost such as a barb T fitting from Home Depot and hose clamps. To save costs I only used the teflon for the high pressure lines. The return line is regular stainless hose. I had an extra piece left over from an earlier project. That stuff is pretty cheap (6ft @ $25). You could save there by using 3/8" rubber hose. In the end I had leftover fittings. That's because I converted my PS lines to TFE last year and the high pressure line off the PS pump was long enough to reach the booster. So in all I have closer to $350 invested. That includes the fittings below.
Awesome! Thanks. The hoses are the biggie. I have seen the reman pumps too, was just planning to buy new for the extra $20.

As it turns out if I am not mistaken I only need one line. I converted mine over to TFE on both lines due to my March kit. So I just need to T and connect the low pressure and make one more high pressure TFE for the second line.

Still need to make it to an event and see your truck.
