First off I would decide where to locate it, engine bay or boot. I personally prefer engine bay but that isn't always possible.
based upon what I did, the basics would be:-
Swirlpot (OBP?) basic would have 4 port; fuel in/out and 2 returns, one to the fuel rail return and the other on the top of swirlpot which is back to tank and helps get rid of any air.
Bosch 044 external pump. (or 2 if running big power)
Adjustable FPR with gauge.
Fuel hose and fittings (braided or normal fuel hose)
25amp inline fuse for battery connection.
30amp 4 point relay.
Also to consider if you want the system running full time or make it so can be disconnected, if you didn't do a lot of track days for instance. It would be a case of swopping pipes over and pulling the relay fuse.

just amended swirlpot details as I see mine has four ports, two of which are at the top and are for return. Apologies for any confusion.

none that have a clear view and are helpful.
My engine bay is crammed so the swirlpot isn't a neat install, but it does work.
I have the bosch 044 placed inside the inner wheel arch, driver side. The swirl pot and FPR are on that side but fixed up inside the engine bay.
There is an ongoing thread in General Tech, 'Twin Bosch 044 wiring' which might be worth looking at.
