Custom UIM vs PS pump - LX9 - need suggestions

Not another bloody Canadian!

LOL, yup!!!

The more and More I look at this, the more and more I think it will be too much trouble

Relocate your battery and use a same-side intercooler.

The reservoir can be relocated separate from the pump a lot easier than changing the UIM.

Ya, battery will be relocated.
Even with PS pump reservoir removed, still not enough clearance.

I wanted to flip it due to the big azz intercooler and really like the look of it, but ya, think it may be too much work for not enough gain.

Yup, battery needs to go to the trunk when using a turbo. And get a different intercooler or route your pipes different. I've seen both same side inlet/outlet setups, and setups where the pipe is routed back over on GM FWD 60*'s.

Yes, I have officially given up on the Idea of rotating the UIM 180*

Just too much work for little to no gain.

I know what you mean I was pretty determined to do this myself for my turbo build but with money tight and all the work involved I decided it would be a project for me to try later on in the future.
