Hey guys,
Got to play around with my 914 yesterday. With the help of my neighbor, we were able to figure some things out. The fuel pump is mounted in the wrong spot. Mine was the one that was zipped tied from a previous post. Really stupid. It should be mounted on the passenger side fender area under the car from what I can tell. However, those rubber mounts at hold the bracket on are broke. No way to attach it back. Pelican parts does not have these any more. Is it safe to install it in the engine compartment underneath the PCM or does this area get to hot? Any other places you guys would recommend? Thanks, Jason |
