   as its electric you can put the pump and bottle either in the boot or under the boot floor, its been done many times

   just remember tho if your going to put it in the boot, make sure the pipe connects are all ok and no damage on the pipes othawise the car inside will look like a blood bath if it leaks..

   and if that fluid gets in ur carpet it is gunna stink and u will end up needing a new carpet...
   
   Unless you can get under the car you can run it along the chassis but u'll need to guard it well from any objects hitting it and bursting the pipe.

   lool yea will do man. think i will bolt it underneath where the spare wheel used to be.. if i get to u (horse shoe) type brackets made to go around the pump then bolt it to the floor of the boot and have the pipe where you fill it up poking through the boot

   if gunna cut hole in the boot floor for the pipe to fit through but a rubber grommet arnd the pipe so that it doesnt rub on the floor and can burst the pipe..

    i want to move my power steering pump so it gives space to run my boost pipes around the outsde and through where the pump was... then the old hole i will rin my pipes for the oil cooler. will give me more room for a diesel rad and a vts fan
    
    this is why i cant put nothing els in the front...
    
    
    
    
    lol yea i will seal the cut metal

    relocation is done! i had a spare power steering pump bracket so got the weilded to the inside of my arch where the battery used to be. will be geting my custom boost pipes on the 22nd if the place is open and have my old cituning boost pipes and hoses up for sale
    
    will then be able to fit a aluminium diesel rad.. anyone know it the diesel rad will be a straight raplacement for my old vtr one?
