Default fuel pump problem

hi guys i am currently doing an engine transplant on my 1.6 my01 by fitting an sti engine and running gear from a my06. i also sourced a walboro 255 from a salvaged wr1. the problem is the fuel pump cap has three fuel lines coming out of it as my 1.6 pump only has two. i think the two return lines become one somewhere between the pump and the engine. how can i fit this new pump? here are the pics

One is the feed to the engine(1) one is a return from the engine (2) the other is a breather (3) which can be routed to atmosphere somewhere away from the hot exhaust)

thanx for the replies guys. i can fit the pump on the old cap but how about that little plastic thing that looks like a filter of some sort. the one just above the pump it is connected to the return and breather lines.

It's dead easy just fit the one with three take offs, one is a feed, one is a return and one is a breather as highlighted in the above diagram. The breather can just be a piece of vacuum pipe that's routed to the underneath of the middle of the car and vented to atmosphere.

I feel you think its more complicated that it is, it's isn't complicated at all. The whole assembly from the WR1 will fit without any problems.

Hope that helps
