you mihgt be abble to fit a 3" on the other side if your lucky, but you can fit up to a 5" DP through there if you convert to a solid mount, 4" if you use a poly mount.

Its coming together though. Your going similiar route to this right? Great looking set-up. The pump may be small for your goals though. I've talked to Jim Craig about my project and it's less hp than yours. Looks like a Weldon 600A rated for 60gph at 60psi....about 750 engine horsepower if you don't boost reference.
Might want to look at the 2015 or 2025. www.weldonpumps.com has the pump flow curves.

I'm sure this 600a will support 900rwhp easilly enough.

I'm sure this 600a will support 900rwhp easilly enough.Please share the magic as I'm currently rebuilding my fuel set-up now. If you don't boost reference and drop the base to 3bar and boost the voltage to 17v, a 600a only jumps to 85 gallons/hr....531lbs/hr....what else can you do...that's not enough for 900rwhp....could use two ....unless Jim under rates his pumps for safety.

That way I have no hopes like we did before Made a bracket to support the Turbo last night.Took me 2 hours Today I'll do the altinator/belt setup so we can finish the downpipe.Then a custom t-stat housing,wastegate ect.

That is the reason we made the piping the way we did.The 90 in the 3.5" pipe gives plenty of room to run a stainless pipe for the coolant.
