Inline fuel pump Q's?
've got everything done with my turbo setup except my inline fuel pump. Where do you guys recommend I put it? I've read that I could attach it near the filler tube, and I've also seen someone install it in the engine bay. Which location do you think is better? Where do you guys recommend I put it, and why? Are there any other options I haven't thought about yet? Any tips on the install... how do you recommend I route the hoses?
I've also got another question. I've been told different things by different people and I need some clarification. I was originally under the impression I must remove my stock intank pump and fabricate a tube to replace it and then install my inline pump. But recently I have been told to leave my stock pump in the car, and run both together, whats the deal? Can someone please clarify this once and for all?

I would recomend getting an outright replacement... inline pumps are NOT ideal... you DEFINATELY want an in-tank...
walbro makes a bolt up one and I believe hondata (if not someone else (endyne maybe)) sells modded bosch fuel pumps that are shortened to fit in the civic tank...
and as far as running both... that CAN NOT be good... I'm sure it's possible but all you'll be doing is beating up the weaker one and over-working the better one.
*edit*
It's possible that the theory of using both is to make up for the short comings of the inline pump... maybe the theory is that the intank gets it going towards the inline an the inline builds/keeps pressure maintained...
Which might be a better solution than just an inline... but I still think it'll be un-neccisarily hard on BOTH pumps... intank is definately your best option.
