1.2 tank has an in tank pump, the Gsi one has an external pump at the back of the car.

the callys internal pump will fit the 1.2i tank with a bit of work

if your gonna use external pump then replace the internal pump with a piece of solid pipe that replaces the pump in the holder and refit the basket filter to the pipe in its usual place

GTE has a totally different tank

either get an internal pump from a mk3 astra / later spec cav/cally / corsa mpi and fit that to your nova tank

or fit a complete GTE tank and use cally external pump

or do what i said above
