Default fuel systems..? swirl pots..?

hello..
is their many people running 500bhp with one 044 pump and std tank with swirl pot..?
im either going to have to buy a new tank with swirl pot as the one ive got hasnt got one so 1/4 tank and below i cant open the car up properly or keep this tank and use an external swirl pot and then i guess id need another fuel pump after this to the rail..
obviously cheaper to just get a proper tank but just wondered what others have used..
thanks for any help..

why not use the standard tank

fassit (spelling may be wrong) lift pump

into swirl pot mounted in the boot

then 044 pump to engine bay

aero quip to make it all look nice

job done

ive got it with std style tank but no swirl pot inside..(cheap tank) and 044 pump at the mo.. if i use external swirl pot after this pump then one more pump from swirlpot to rail then.. think it would be a bit overkill for me to have 2 pumps after the swirlpot..?
just wondered if a new std tank with pot inside and 044 pump be good enough..
