Whatfuel pump to replace the original ?

Hello,my fuel pump has died an the price for a new one from Porsche could get me died too...
I know that many of you have a walbro pump to replace the original and I think that I'm gonna buy one too.
But looking for the good part and price on the web, I found that some stores offer the walbro 400 L/h for the 996 turbo... and others offer a 450L/h... To me the good choice is the 450 L/h,but I find now differents 450 L/h...
One of them is the Walbro F90000267 / GST450. It seems to be for e85. is the other 450 not good for E85 ? Is that one as good as the other 450 l/h ?
I don't run E85 now, but I don't say that I will never...
Right now the car has a fvd tune, straight pipes and IPD plenum,and that will maybe not stay this way... I'd rather haven't to buy an other fuel pump in the futur.
So, my question is simple, what would you recommend to me ?
Thank you for help.

thank you for your help
I understood that it wasn't exactly plug and play, I planed on making the part by myself but this part is an option...I also see that AEM pumps are a possibility...
and they are 340 L/h...
Is there a best solution ? I don't know what to buy...
I also think about Bosch's, but a total new system hasto be made as long as they are externals...

I'm surprise to see so few responses.
I used to find much more advices here before.
Have I got to understand that it's not a good idea ?

I'm using two fuelab 49440 either side of the saddle held in with foam. In-tank obviously.

OEM is the safest as Ive seen other mocked up kits fail from the the start

s65e90 is infamous around these parts
Plenty use the Radium kit with a drop in Walboro 450. You can't go wrong with either, just one is rated for e85 if I recall. I would be careful where you get it from, as some people say there's fake pumps floating around now. I have an OEM on my shelf that I've been debating on using versus doing the Walboro. I'm still up in the air, but may just install a new OEM pump.
