I am running a similar setup but with a 2.5 gallon cell under the hood. A1000, bypass regulator, 42# injectors. I will get some pics when I get a chance to get to the car if you're not in a hurry.

I notched the hatch area and mounted a 10 gal. fuel cell, mounted a A-1000 pump below the tank . I ran the vent line out of the car along the bottomside of the tank . If the tank is mounted in the hatch area you must have a bulkhead between the hatch and the driver compartment.

stock tank w/ stock pump or walbro
fed to a 2 gallon surge tank
w/A1000 pump feeding injectors
= less work & never run out of fuel

no prob, But its always nice to be able to fill up w/out having to open the hatch to fill fuel cell.

Turbo done right can be run on 93-94 octane and use meth for higher boost apps or race fuel.
Mine is a twin turbo setup w/stock tank & surge. Its a plastic tank, how much wieght you gonna lose....15-20lbs?
