mounting the fuel pump
Turbo Mini Forums

I found a fuel filter that also acts as a Tee for the fuel return, mounted the pump and filter under the boot and was feeling pleased with myself until I spotted my exhaust system in the corner of the garage. Completely forgot about that!!! Anyway after moving them a bit The exhaust now fits but do you guys think this will be OK?? I am a bit concerned about the heat from the exhaust affecting the fuel

Of course I am a fake, as you can see thats just a 998 exhaust system, I have not even started the turbo engine yet but I am planning on a DTM exhaust for the turbo engine. I may move the pump and filter over to the left side then or do you think that it can stay put??

i wrapped my lines in heat reflective tape and its been fine in a similar setup to yours ,although the pipe sits within the u of the subframe .....(last time i tried mounting a fuel pump i got a nasty rash ,and needed 1 and a half stitches ,,, the nurse told me i was trying to use the wrong end)

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

I mounted mine internally (in the boot) as I didn’t want the fuel lines / pump to get damaged.
