I am going to relive and change to a 2 port.
Found lost of good info here. 1. I can’t seem to find a late blister. Why couldn’t I just use a flat plate? 2. Am I correct in thinking other than cutting a door hatch and using the blister )or my home made door) that the fuel hose on this set up would be shorter and more protected than hanging the pump near the steering rack? The hose going out of the tank area then need to go back through just seems less desirable. |

My advice is to mount it below and above the air diverter on the passenger fire wall. Much easier installation and easier to access. There are several threads on this going several if not more years ago.
I know Porsche changed the location to the front under the steering raxk on the late cars but I wouldn.t.locate the pump there unless you are going to replace the fuel lines in the tunnel. There are a lot more reasons in my mind to not to move it to the front but if you are planning on moving it there....plan on replacing the lines as well for one really good reason.

Good luck. |

Good luck. I’m trying to learn (and decide) . . . what are the reasons not to relocate the fuel pump to the front? I’ve heard it said that a fuel pump should “pump not suck” and there’s the (recent) fire issue . . . yet I’d rather not cut any holes. . . |
