Guys, if you don't mind, can you send me pics when you get a chance.

I'll be adding a bulkhead to the top of my access plate and running another -6an line to my dual feed rail.
Other question
Scott, how did you handle the wiring to the pumps (assuming you used dual pumps)?

Pic has been e-mailed. It's a little fuzzy, but you'll get the uh-hum... picture.
Maybe one of you can reduce it and post on this thread.Chris, I used a 1/4" NPT steel pipe plug and bored it out for the second feed-through terminal. I welded it on the plate, filled it with JB weld to act as an insulator, and put an 8-32 screw in the center of the cured epoxy to wire up the pump. You'll see the two positive leads to the pumps in the tank from the photo.
The rest of the wiring is pretty straight forward. I ran a 4-guage wire for power back to the trunk area and used two relays to control the pumps separately. One pump runs all the time; the second pump comes on at 11psi of boost using the AEM.
Anything passing through the tank access plate *must* be welded. Otherwise, it will leak gas or fumes or both.

I couldn't agree with you more on welding anything to the access plate. I had leaking problems with my supra when I cut a new hole for the second pump wiring and it never did seal properly. Learned my lesson.

Chris,
Thanks for posting the pic. Couple of notes... You can use the existing feed-through terminal for one of the pumps (obviously). I went ahead and pulled it out because I cut the feed wire too close. The 8AN bulkhead fitting is too big for the circular tin that covers up access to the tank access plate. However, a 6AN bulkhead fitting will fit under the cover (I think). I don't think a 10AN line will even be possible.
There are three ground wires. The big fat one (4 guage which was overkill) goes to a dedicated chassis ground near the trunk latch. The white wire is the OEM ground for the fuel level assembly, and the 14guage black comes from one of the pump relays I installed.
Hope that helps.

Intercooler should be all buttoned-up today and the bumper should be back on, the 3" IC piping was not a problem to fab or fit. We will then be moving on to the downpipe and fabbing a 3" midpipe, then it'll be time to do the fuel setup and then comes plenty of wiring. We're trying to have it completed in another week, we'll see. I'd also like to thank Scott for his help....I called the poor guy @ 8a.m. to shoot around some ideas and he spent over 2 hrs on the horn with me and said he would go to work whenever. I'll post some pics of the FMIC later.
