Go with twin 044 pumps mounted like my single.
Got mine done through Enhanced automotive here in Adelaide they also do the twin set-up.

044 pumps are not the ideal way to go, they are a noisy over rated pain in the ass and few ppl use them now days. Use twin Walbro external pumps which is what most ppl have realised is the way to go. They are whisper quiet and flow nearly the same as an 044. They are half the price and draw half the current. GSL 392 is the pump you want. Run a Turbosmart FPR1200 and some billet rails. Its a bit tricky setting up extra fuel lines and fittings but well worth the effort.

yea thanks for that mate i just got a 4lt surge tank with 044 brackets hopefully the walbro ones will fit. Yea i think i might get my tuner to set up the fuel system i might mount it all but he can hook it up.

I thought your kit would have come with instructions? My kits come with full installation instructions with photos and detailed descriptions. Took me a while to put the document together but it is much easier for those who want to do the install themselves.
