My car is not a B58 rather N63TU but I ordered two N63TU3 HPFPs as they are the same as the Gen 1 B58 guys do by installing a TU pump, which is plug and play for you guys. Well to my dismay the N63TU3 HPFP inlet side is clocked at the 10 o'clock position on the drivers side and the 2 o'clock position on the passenger side.
My N63TU HPFP inlets are both clocked at the 2 o'clock position. Simple enough, I thought I'll just return the driver's side and order a 2nd passenger side and it would literally be plug and play at that point like you B58 cats. To my dismay like a dumbass I threw the original boxes away and they won't accept the return. So now I'm stuck with making a soft adapter line that would go like this: hard line > 6AN PTFE line > HPFP
That would enable me to have the slack and flexibility to route it from the 2 o'clock position to the 10 o'clock position. Seeing that the hard line fitting is so close to the HPFP I realize I will need to bend the hard line slightly to give me some room for the AN fittings to connect to the hardline and not hit the pump. I've seen Blaster3500 thread in the N54 forum where he upgraded his lines, granted the B58/N63 have a totally different HPFP design vs N54 but the B58 and N63 share the same pump style and same fitting size. So if anyone can piece me together a parts list I would greatly appreciate it since I don't know the hard line fitting size or what all is required to make this work. Seems like martymil knows a thing or two about fuel lines as well. Fuel line is not my forte by any means.
Here are the pumps I ordered (not from FCP, just to show the part numbers):
