   seen this a few times (my gti did it for one of them)
   
   what i did wa i got a live off the fuse box and a fuse (i cant remember amperage atm) then a switch and then ran along the loom to the fuel pump live (but splice it in so the origonal is still connected)
   then turn on ignition and you can switch on the pump and fire the car

   as alex says i did the same but a little more of a bodge.
   
   just ran a cable from the battery through the dash to a switch within reach then continued the cable to the fuel pump.

   erm 8amp i think, was just whatever i could find laying around in the garage.
   
   as for your starter problem wire up a push button switch but with a hidden on off switch elsewhere for security

    i used some 12amp iirc (was a while back when i did it)
    my gti runs fine like it (im redoing it all now so its all hidden as ive traced all the loom back to behind the dash)
    
    and the thing about the car getting stolen they cant steal it if they dont know to turn the fuel pump on

    If you turn the key to the 3rd position, so the starter motor is spinning, and HOLD it there, does the engine run? and when you let the key 'spring' back to position 2 does it stop?
    
    If so you've probably wired up the starter motor incorrectly.
    
    There should be a power from the battery to it, then a take off onto the big loom on the SAME bolt. The other 2 bolts are starter signal and earth, but there should be 3 wires off the loom going to the starter - 2 to the big one, and 1 to the little one. The 3rd one goes into the starter motor itself.
