I have a carb tank without an internal swirl pot.

You need a plastic cabriolet swirl pot.

Get a late cabriolet lift pump where the outlets go forward towards the wiring connector. You can use a polo lift pump but the outlets face away towards the back of the car and make running the fuel lines tricky.

Mount a gti fuel pump or Bosch 044 in the gti cradle. I bought a stainless version from CQ. Mount the swirl pot where the gti accumulator is positioned, again bought a stainless cradle from CQ.

Connect the fuel system like so:

Alternatively source a good gti tank (hard to come by) and gti fuel setup.
