Can I go back to sleep now?

Good god you are cranky when you wake up!

EDIT

So I found that chapter in the FSM and discovered a few tidbits. First, and foremost, they specify a filter with a 23psi bypass!!!!!!!! So the filters that some books/websites suggest for our car have BPVs that are actually too low and the L30165 is acytually closer to what we want! I suggest looking into the BPV specs for the filters you are using. For example, Amazon AND the Purolator site both suggest the Purolator L14459 for the SVX whereas the L14460 is actually the filter with the correct bypass pressure. They are physically identical in terms of form and fit. I believe the Bosch 3312 also has a lower bypass pressure. I am not sure about the others. And, again, I'm not sure how much any of this matters. But, if it does, we probably should identify the filters that fit and have the proper BPV rating.

I also now have some pump specifications to work with. And, of course, I have the schematic of the flow. I will do some playing at lunch time with excel!
