Been having a think about this and I don't think that the swirl pot is necessarily the way forward as the return line is back to the swirl pot and so the car ends up drawing all the fuel from the return line that would normally of had a little time in the tank to cool down so it could compound the issue of pumping hot fuel.
I think rather than spending £50+ on a swirl pot set up I'd still rather spend that on a decent fuel cooler set up and big fuel lines.
Looking at lift pumps on ebay £40 gets you a cheap copy of a Walbro 255LPH unit but if you stretch to £70 you can get a decent AEM branded 340LPH pump that is thoroughly overkill but for £30 extra is so much the better pump. From loads of adverts I've looked at they all seem to claim that standard lift pumps flow about 135LPH but I'm not sure I believe them.
