It aint to much hassle to fit in it the fuel tank just got to make sure you make the hole smaller on the swirl pot to the fuel cant get away to fast!

On the s3 the second pick up needs blocking off because they have two pick ups as a result of their different fuel tank.

Also the fuel pump you want is an lcr fuel pump.

In addition, an inline pump doesn't pull air through - no more than your standard pump would because your standard pump will serve as a feed for the inline pump.

You can also modify the swirl pot relatively easily, there's a guide that goes into more detail on here. It works pretty well I might add.
