Which tuner for a swirl pot installation?
I've tried Zen and API about fuel swirl pot installations, but I'm struggling to find a solution. Anyone know who does fuel swirl pot installation?

Option one was a 4 litre Sard swirl pot, fitted with twin internal pumps, fed by the original Walbro from the tank, fitted to two of our projects, no problems, takes up boot space of course!
Option two was an Aeromotive 1000L pump and filter, fed from a 2 litre swirl pot, again fitted to two cars with no problems, the pump is noisy, but at least you know it's working!
Option three is a 1 litre pot, under bonnet fitment, feeding from the original Walbro, then into a Bosch 044 pump. Tested on a very quick hillclimb car, no surge issues, and the cheapest to supply and fit.
Fuel line issues, we've found that there isn't any braided hose we'd use, that isn't best fitted with the proper aero fittings. They look great with the Sard and aeromotive set ups, but cost an arm and a leg. The decent braided hose isn't designed to use with clips, and any that has a rubber insert tends to seep fuel. We'd rather use good quality rubber hose with stainless clips where appropriate.

We've used three alternatives! they all work, it's about choice, and budget.

Option two was an Aeromotive 1000L pump and filter, fed from a 2 litre swirl pot, again fitted to two cars with no problems, the pump is noisy, but at least you know it's working!

What's the cost for the under bonnet?
