good luck.
It seems like 2.5" dp's barely fit with A/C, so I don't see how you're going to fit a 3" dp down there. Maybe if you turned the turbo around so the turbine is on the passenger side, then you might have enough room for a 3" dp, but then I don't think you'll be able to get a filter on the inlet. Or, you could go from 2.5" at the turbine to 3" after it clears the A/C unit.

3" would be ideal, but I don't see how you're going to fit it in there unless you ditch the A/C. 2.5" flaring to 3" after the A/C is a compromise.

well, i guess i have to go w/ the 2.5 in. those were my original plans but everyone was saying "3 in this, 3 in that" but oh well, comfort over a few more hp? i'll take the comfort especially in this hot @ss soCal weather. BTW, nice car inspyral, think i've seen some of you post around the forum. i noticed you listing the inline bosch pump on your site. can i get just anykind of Bosch inline or any suggestions? how bout the fuel pressure gauge? can you get it to work w/ the pump? thanx

I'm not even sure it's a Bosch, but I did get a gauge to work after the pump. I used a Summit Racing gauge and fitting spliced into the fuel line going from the pump to my rail.
