Why the dual setup? Need the fuel for the horse torques? Redundant setup? 2 stage for when the boost hits?

Just my car nerd curiosity, I love this build. Simple, unique parts/car and you are moving really fast!

 

[turbomonty]

you guessed it
1 cheap pumps 25$
2 good for v8 each
3 redundant
4 secondary kicks on at what ever boost i want
5 have pump switch the rotate through which is primary
6 small pump = quite pump

So I did a thing. Finished welding up the last bits on the axle.
Fill bung
Drain bung
Caliper brackets...... Then I was like shit I trapped on an axle bearing retainer bolt! Oh shit I still need one more trapped in there too!!!!!
