I have done a 20vt and have a similar setup to you.
It sounds like theres not enough fuel moving through the pumps and swirl pot. They should not be hot to the touch, you will end up with a big bang! Your pump needs flow of fuel to keep cool.
Try a different fuel cap.
Also i changed my supply pipes and pickup to 8mm as the 6mm ones on the 1.3 pickup may not provide enough fuel flow. Is your supply pump man enough? I used a facet red top as a supply pump, then a walbro 255 for the injection pump. You should have a fair return to the tank at all times when driving. The swirl pot is only really for when driving multiple corners as the 1.3 tank doesnt have an internal baffle.
I wouldnt drive it again until you have sorted the fueling system.

Ok thanks for the reply. Think im going to leave the carb tank in and try a couple of other options that have been talked about on here.
Any other pointers always helpful.

Hi did you resolve the issue ?
I think the pick up pipe was too small a diameter so starving the pump. I just bought a gti tank from heritage in the end and swapped it out
