The DI kit doesn't come with the extension for the return. I used their kit several years ago when did mine. I cut the "U" shaped hose and left it more sideways. I still have the stock foot with screen and nibs at the bottom. I haven't had any problems with it that way.

Unless they changed up their kit, it didn't have it before. Only tubing in the kit was for the pickup tube extension to replace the mixing chamber. What you see in the picture is what I got.

well ****tt, can I cut the peice of tubing like you did and add a peice of ss brake line and a tiny hose clamp to move the return even further away from the pickup?
I wish i could afford it and spend 165$ on a sump and delete these problems.

From my earlier post "I used that same 90° elbow turned paralell to the bottom of the tank and added a piece of SS brake line to route it toward the front of the tank."

I finally finished up. Boy was that fun. I took all your suggestions and basically did it the same as Guzzle page.
Things I notice now:
1. Fuel pump does not sound like it has air in the lines when you turn on the key anymore.
2. The engine is a little quieter and smoother.
3. Seems to start a little faster.
Thanks for the tips and feedback.

this might have been stated before but is there an advantage or disadvantage to routing to front of tank or too rear of tank?

When I bought it back in Jan. of this year, it didn't come with any extension for the return line. I didn't do anything about extending the return line though.
