              Yeah its easy as hell, just changing the fuel pump period is a *****. The way magnus did it is slightly more complicated, but it has its advantages. I just used two hose clamps and clamped it onto the metal bracket. Cake.

                so what are the benefits of doing it the way magnus did it? or disadvantages of doing it the easy way like you did it?

                    The advantages to doing it magnus' way is that the plastic housing for the fuel pump stays on. That means his pump is probably a little quieter than mine, and also the plastic housing gets filled up by fuel from the return line to cool the pump even at very low fuel.
                    Mine is just cooled like most other pumps (just sitting in the tank).

                    BlazzinJoe - Does it say Walbro on it anywhere. Cause it damn sure looks like the walbro!
                    Hey if your done with those Tostitos. Throw the bag away. Its making me hungry!

                      well a big mouth is cut out of the bottom of my housing so it probably doesn't hold fuel well.

                      At our power levels I'm all for in-tank vs in-line... with an in-line pump you're PULLING fuel through the stock restricted pump...

                        True, I never thought of that.

                        The reason I didn't to it though, is because my setup looked really wobbly like the pump might fall out over a big bump. So I just used the hose clamps.
