I guess it's just me then. LOL When I see 4 12ga wires (2 one color and 2 another color) I immediately know what those wires are for because of their size, amount of wires only in that size and the way the colors are split up. Then when I see the last wires that are smaller, I immediately know they are for the fuel level sensor. It doesnt matter where you use the colors of the wires (ie, black for power instead of the red and red for the ground, etc.) as long as you understand where the sizes of the wires belong and you hook up both ends in the same manner. Larger wires are always going to be for power runs and smaller wires are for signals, etc. It's just supper simple to me I guess. 
Really? B/c I've hooked up quite a few things, and that isn't always the case. Why guess? B/c at best that is what you are doing.

Hmm ok I will check it out.. The other thing I'm trying to work out, when you're wiring the pumps up, do u get power direct from the battery? I have basically used up all the sources in the fusebox area under dash(defi gauges, waterpump for ac, turbo timer) also what sort of fuses do you trigger the pumps with?
I wouldnt mind paying a shop to do all this but down here is aus, if u want to do a job properly u need to do it yourself.

Also the supplied round fuel filter(cylinder with 2 hose connections) where is the best place to mount that?
I'm guessing it's for the feed line because the return remains the same.
And as for the return line (stock barb type) does that just fit on the supplied return fitting?
Sorry guys I have to do this myself because I don't think anyone here in aust will do it the right way without charging me a crapload.

I'm on my phone and can't post up my build thread, but if you search for my build thread about the FB dual pump setup, I have pics in there on the way I mounted the filter. Its basically on a piece of lexan where the spare tire was and the lexan is velcro'd to the car with industrial velcro. This way I can just pull the lexan plate off anytime I need to get to the filter. Everything is also covered with the factory panels and you would never even know its there.
