Ok what is a swirl pot, and dont you have an upgraded fuel pump already ??

The swirl pot is like a second mini fuel tank, closer to the injectors. Another, high-pressure pump takes the fuel from here and sends it to the injectors. The regular fuel pump (or another, lower-pressure one) feeds the swirl pot from the main fuel tank.

Help make sure you get a good supply of fuel, very important if you have a powerful engine and might be driving (e.g. cornering) hard - you don't want to end up starving the injectors of fuel and melting the engine !

I need the swirl pot and pump to make more power as the walbro 255 pump i have in the tank is not powerfull enough ( it maxed out at 1bar 380hp 310ft/lb ) the bosh 044 fuel pump will make shure she never runs out of fuel even when hard cornering as i do'nt want to melt her .

It's both safety as well as power Dean. Dave needs the swirl pot (also called a surge tank sometimes) and new pump since the current fuelling is maxed out. If he tried to go further with the existing setup then he'd hit safety problems, the engine might start running lean and therefore melt itself.

The Bosch 044 fuel pump is really loud but very good. You can hear the fuel pump before the car! :lol: (well it is on Evos anyway from what I have read)

So a swirl pot is basicly a capacitor but for petrol not electricity?
