Not hard I guess, but people are discovering thanks to guys like Cather, massive increases in flow does not equal higher performance.

Not sure it would save much space flat, there isn't much space wasted.
Maybe 1/4-1/2" smaller then two pumps.

Also guys, place 3 in series will not help head, we design impeller / rotor to max at specific rpm. We have to do this because people are "modding" pumps and we had to find a way around this and make our insurance carrier happy.

For those that do not understand pumps / motors let me explain.

If you design a motor / pump to run at high RPM, forcing the motor to run low RPM will overload it. When people "mod" a pump chamber, you increase flow, which DECREASES rpm, and therefore increases load.

Our solution was a tuned rotor / stator combo that doesn't allow any increase in performance by "modding" the chamber. You can increase outlet size, or inlet, and true system flow will decrease.

So place two MAG's in series you will get about 6 psi, 3 MAG's will only get you about 7-8 psi, and so on.

When we figure how to change the higher RPM pump so we can tell if it has been modded, we will release it. Until then, higher head pump is OEM only
