That's very expensive, have a look at OBP https://www.obpltd.com/product-category/fuel-water-swirl-pots/bulkhead-mount-swirl-pots/ A return form the fuel rail keeps the fuel in the rail cooler. You need one if the rail is designed that way, otherwise you're just going to trade one problem for anothe...

If you suspect the injectors, swap 2&8 with 4&6 and see what happens.

I own several cars, and as a hobby, I began reworking some with ECUs, first with Megasquirt and now with Sppeduino. I make my own boards depen...

Also, where in the world are you? I assume somewhere in the UK.....

Looks like TVR-esque exhaust routing.

Pushing air in and out dislodged a blockage? Whatever, a result is a result

Bit of an extreme way to up the compression ratio.....

Looks a bit like the trouser manifold here https://www.mez.co.uk/ms12-new.html. Basically a hack to get the carbs to fit under the bonnet.
