Default Walbro Fuel Pump Replacement 2001 AWM

I'm looking into purchasing a Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump for my 01 1.8T. I've run across older threads on the subject, but would like to get some more "Recent" opinions. My stock fuel pump has over 251K miles on it, and I'm running a K04/5BAR setup. I'm having some issues with power loss in the higher rpms in 3rd/4th/5th gears, and at this point am turning to the fuel pump being so old and not able to keep up.

I've found two Walbro pumps and am not sure which one to get:

Walbro GSS341 OR Walbro GSL392 ??

I've found the GSS341 at least $30 buks cheaper, but want to make sure either one will work. Most sellers on Ebay that I've found don't list the particular vehicles for some reason, and have sent most of them an email asking about whether it will fit my vehicle.

On one particular older post about these two pumps on the A4, the OP mentioned that a "kit" isn't necessary seeing as the hardware from the stock FP would be sufficient.

Any suggestions and/or info on either of these pumps? The 341 I can get for $70 ($100 for kit), and about a $100 -$120 for the 392 unit/kit.

Thanks in advance!

I've been researching about which Fuel Pumps to get all day....

As far as bang for your buck, I like this one for $62.98....

255LPH High Pressure Intank Fuel Pump Walbro GSS341 Alternative New HFP 341 | eBay

Lifetime Warranty and 255LPH being the replica of the Walbro GSS341------

I wasn't sure which model of Walbro to get since I've read people say the GSS340, GSS341, etc etc.....

I'm thinking this will work for my car seeing as other A4 owners are using it. It does come with other stuff, although I'm not too sure what will be "necessary" for the install, and whether I'm able to use my OEM stuff in conjuction with it like this thread states....

I've also sent the Ebay seller an email asking what will fit in that particular kit, although they also sell another one for far more money, and it doesn't even come with other goodies....

255LPH Walbro Fuel Pump Audi A4 Quattro S4 1994 2001 | eBay

It looks like this unit is more money because it specifically states it's for an Audi.....but at $133 shipped I feel the first Ebay item is a far better deal....

Any input?
