Mine is in the trunk, but I haven't gotten it back from the shop yet. I may be able to answer a question if you have one.

hey jeremie, mine is in the trunk. let me see if i can dig up some pictures

I was told the pump is a pusher style so no problem with the way I mounted it, close to the tank. I ran the lines inside the car and through the firewall. Let me try and find a pic.

Tank and pump mounted in trunk


Hose routing


And where the line runs under the hood. Find it?

Mine is also in the trunk. Looks almost exactly like the pics up there do! I have my lines also inside the car, and inject into the top of the intake tube right before the rubber piece that way its screwed into the intake and does not leak, or move around

or i can use my wash fluid tank for washer fluid. and since snow performance's boost juice has a higher methanol content in it, i think i'll stick with it. washer fluid is for cheap asses and it doesnt work nearly as well as boost juice.

i think i'm going to mount my tank over on the passanger side and mount the pump under my carpet thing, by my spare tire and battery..and maybe mount the controller inside somewhere.

are your kits running off the maf signal?

Trunk Mount

This is the best set up.

My tank is mounted on the passenger side as well. The pump is mounted under the carpet where the spare tire is. All wires and hoses are ran inside the car just like everyone elses. I have the TB Spacer from CA for where the nozzle is.

Jeremie be careful of mounting your tank where I think you are. You may get a hard time from people at the track about it being so close to the battery. I know I thought about it but that was my concern. I know Heartland Park gave me a hard time just when I pulled the carpet piece out of the trunk.

I was never a fan of putting it in the trunk. Are you guys using check vavles/solenoids to prevent fluid from being sucked out of the tube? If not I could see it being a problem having the pump catch up because of how fast our cars make boost. From what I see in the pics it does look like you have some kind of cv though. Why not try and mount it on the left side of the engine bay where there is that empty spot with the 2 studs on the strut tower? Yes there is methanol in washer fluid, but you are never exactly sure of how much the difference from bottle to bottle is. That's why I stay away from it.
