I think they are illegal if they are not in a sealed off compartment seperate to the cabin, and the boot doesnt count as it isnt air tight, i think if you contain the pumps and the tank in a perspex case they are sweet also they can be custom made and mounted under the car, thats what i am getting done for my car

Pretty sure they are legal as long as all fuel hoses are completely sealed in from the cabin

So they have to be mounted OUTSIDE the cabin (boot) to be legal, or in some sort of completely sealed box

Edit: Yeah what he said ^^^^^^^^

If you have your surge setup in the boot you will require a mod plate and will have to be installed by a professional to pass.

When fuel vapor/leaks are involved it becomes a important issue and a target for EPA and Fire baggage when modifying fuel system setup's from standard.

Be very carefully with the way you setup your fuel system, use correct fitting, seek the correct advice and install it in a safe position I.E keep it away from your battery if in boot.

Also be warned that police will now be targeting poor wiring quality/install, this being a fire hazard and dangerour is now a defective target.

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
