Am i right in thinking all thats needed for a swirl pot setup is the pot,external fuel pump(044 etc),and an inline fuel filter and fittings,i currently have a walbro lp300 in the tank and im suffering bad with fuel surge on acceleration and corners with anything less than half a tank of fuel so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Due similar reason we are went too with Swirl pot,would recommend PTFE for fuel lines,where you want have mounted swirl pot inside the cabin or in the engine bay

But must say,044 fuel pump is little bit noisy

stops fuel surge and therefore fuel cut when the tank is less than x full...if you have ever experienced it you will know why you want to avoid it

Boot Mounted setup, with Torques PTFE Hoses and connectors.
Fabricated by myself.

Boot oy bay mounted both have it's pros and cons, to me the pros of a boot mounted setup are more important.

Heres mine, fair to say it was definately inspired by Frayz's setup!

Still a work in progress so things look pretty tatty!

Custom swirl pot by OBP which bolts to 2 spare M6 captives on the strut tower and a brace bracket to the strut brace.

Bosch 044

Mocal -8 inline filter

All goodridge -6 connectors except pot through filter to pump is -8

Personally, best place for fuel fittings and hoses is think automotive, but once youve worked out how much of it you need, youll be bloody suprised by how much it all costs to do the job properly.

Yes matey, all bolted straight up.... but i did the drawings so id expect nothing less! haha :-)

The two M6 bolts that hold the swirl pot to the strut tower are a bit of a game to get started as theres not alot of access and ive got fingers like pigs t1ts .... otherwise its all good!

its all coming out for some powder coat in the next few days too.

Suffering with this fuel surge also... What sort of money would a typical set-up cost?

Thanks in advance
