I just installed SS fuel lines from Tangerine Racing and a new Bosch 69133 fuel pump that I bought on Amazon for $72. Fuel lines can be installed with the engine in place (by a non-mechanic; if I can do it, anyone can). Wix 33274 or Purolator F23175 fuel filters both work and are available at Amazon for under $10.

Thanks! Now being that there are three ports on my original fuel pump, how do I plumb the type shown in the picture with just two? I'm assuming I just need to remove the splitter from the return line, but I want to be sure.

Yes, just remove the spliter so the return line is a straight shot back to the gas tank. I had to move the pump from the original position; no way it would fit in the original spot with input and output on opposite ends of the new pump. I drilled a hole in the firewall (actually 2 walls) and mounted as shown in my previous picture. I just copied what another 914World member did (I need to search around to figure out what thread/member I got the picture below from).

Well today I braved 100+ degree heat and installed a new fuel pump, new rubber lines, and the injectors I had repaired by Mr. Injector. After priming the system I hit the key and it started perfectly. I did a quick pre-flight and despite having no brakes went for a ride around the block. I typically work with 36hp VWs so I was really surprised at the responsiveness and power of the 2.0. A big thank you to those that shared their insight and advice. Now that I know it runs, I'm going to fix the brakes and then address the rust. I will update as I progress.
