Default Trunk mounted expansion tanks hose routing

Anyone have pics of how they routed their hoses?

I don't have pics but it's on a 90* down off the tank then it goes through the carpet on the back.

So it's routed inside the car? Or outside?
I want to route mine outside the car... Haven't really poked around under it to see where it could go, figured it's already been done and someone had pics of it

Most guys route inside for convenience but some racing organizations don't allow any fluid to be routed through the firewall and some don't like fluids anywhere inside the passenger compartment unless it's in a fuel cell.

I haven't done any of this myself, but you can probably go through the fenders. Rear turbo setups route a 2.5" hard pipe this way so there has to be a path for a couple of 1-1.5" coolant hoses.

It cuts through the carpet there and I drilled a hole through the back of the car and passed it through there. Then I routed it over the wheel wells to the front of the car.

I found some pictures. Vengeance reworked my routing when they had the car apart for the build so it looks a lot cleaner, but these should give you the idea.

Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Do you still use the stock pump up front with the emp out back? Is the pump Pushing or pulling?

You have to delete the pump up front or it becomes a restriction and also it will intermittently lose its prime. Pump is pushing. I want to add a second pump in but it will be in the back and running parallel but I've been too lazy to do it.

Do you have the high out version of the emp or reg?
