Tye, I would take your car with 100k miles over many others I've seen. You've done a spectacular job on what has to be one of the nicest .1's on these forums.

Working on installing the Cup Power steering pump, but want to maximize trunk space and not just mount it down in the trunk like everyone else does.

Initial fitment and measurements indicate this will work. Now working on designing a custom pump mount/battery tray and then will test fit.

interesting location on the PS pump! how do you plan on routing the PS lines? are you planning on using a relay for the power, or the passenger side fuse block?

Thanks guys, I def understand the line diameters and potential challenges of routing to the rack. Electrical wiring part is easy. Lets just say I won't be the first to have done this, as a well known Porsche tuner shop has done this multiple times and given me understanding of what to do.

Obviously not the same pump, but you can get an idea of how there are a lot of different line choices that can be used which makes routing lines not as big of a challenge as it may initially appear. What matters with the lines is ID, PSI limits, and how vibration is handled.




Also take notice at the hole already in the body here that could serve as a line routing option (disregard circled part of picture I borrowed). Im talking about the hole towards where the steering shaft goes.
