few things, didnt think the square facet pumps were up to the job of a turbo?? are they ? iv got one but itl only push around 6PSI max.

and aint they sposed to be mounted as close to the tank as possible and below it?

My engien bay wil hopefuly be looking the same in a week or two :)

Edit, wheres the pre-pump filter?

i had that fuel pump mounted there when i brought the car i thought it would be able to cope with the turbo engine. it is the best fuel pupm on the market. and i have got to fit the fuel filter yet

I agree with evolution. Should be mounted by the tank. And although it would be my choice of pump for an NA engine I think it's unsuitable for a turbo.

Engine bay looks nice and clean and tidy thoiugh.

No thinking about it, it is unsuitable for turbo applications *smiley*

It should be below the fuel line in the tank (i.e. gravity fed) and close to the tank.

You need a metty turbo pump, can do brand new ones, ?90 inc p&p *smiley*
