Ask a few of the sponsors here, there are chinese outfits that are trying to sell knock-offs of both walbro and bosch pumps. Many can be almost undistiguishable from the real thing - except the price is super low, they come usually from small shops/individuals, and their performance is sub-par.

Although they offer a 1 yr garantee, its not hard to see an extra $30 is nothing compaired to a possible blown motor & downtime. Also based on how cheap chinese products can be bought for (right from the source), even if 1 in 20 pumps die, they still make a killing by selling them.

That looks like the right pump, but for that price I can pick it up at a local shop or from a reputable seller.
