This is where i've got it installed. it is anchored to the e-brake line running to the rear passenger side wheel.





as well as my writeup on it:

Here's how i did it:

Get under your car, just in front of the passenger side rear wheel. Look
around, and find the fuel line.

There will be a soft line, screwed down to a hard, metal line. Unscrew that
fuel line ( i used a pair of pliers and a 14mm wrench), and wait for the gas
to spray everywhere.

Once it is loose, cut that soft line about 4 inches back from the metal
fitting on the end. Make sure the section of line you are cutting off is
long enough to go from the outlet on the airtex pump to the hard line
without kinking the line. Install the cut off portion of the soft line onto
the outlet of the fuel pump and hose clamp it. It points straight up, and
will have to bend at a 90* angle to meet the hard line.

The pump comes with a section of fuel line, and an internal brass butt style
connector. Take that fuel line, with the connector in it, and ram that
sucker into the other end of the soft line (coming from the fuel tank). Hose
clamp both lines. (this is harder than it sounds.. that butt connector is
big, the hoses are a bit too small.)

Connect the now lengthened line from your tank to the inlet of the fuel pump
and hose clamp it. Reconnect the soft line coming from the pump's outlet to
the hard line and make sure it is tight.

I secured my pump the the rubber covered, steel reinforced tube that my
emergency brake line runs through. I haven't had any problems with it being
loose or moving. The fuel lines also help to keep it stable.

As for power, i got it from the relay used in my fuel pump rewire. The
location given (just about the only place you can mount it) puts the pump
almost directly below the interior access panel to the stock (or walbro
intank) pump under your back seat. If you haven't done the rewire, i highly
recommend it, as the two pumps you are using, if wired to the stock power
supply, will probably blow a fuse. they draw a lot of current.

And on a side note, for those that may be worried about water shorting the thing out because it hangs so low... i live in HOUSTON! I've been through several days of very heavy rain, commuting home from downtown, with not a single problem. I wouldn't worry about it too much :-)

Hmm shiet I installed it the opposite way. Does yours vibrate a lot? I also used a larger hose on one of the sections. Hmm I guess that's why I need so much extra hose.

Doh!

Whatever works!

Actually, mine stays pretty stable. No shakes/rattles/rolls.. but is is pretty damn loud.

The only real problem that i've had with it is that i run SO DAMN RICH now... i hit like .97-.98 on the A/F, off the fuel pressure gauge (100PSI) by 5PSI.. and i've had people tell me that i pop out a little puff of nice black smoke when i shift under boost :-)

Really need to install my AFC..
