All the pumps for '87 models onward have the same performance specification
and all the varying brackets are designed to fit the same holes in the
pump.  In other words, the pump I've replaced in a V8, which has a totally
different bracket for attaching to the engine, is identical to the ones
I've replaced in a 200q20v and a 5ktq.  If you've got time and are going to
do the replacement yourself, why not just reseal the pump you've got?  The
Bentley for the 200q20v has the most thorough description of the resealing
process I've seen.  The seal kits are about $25.
