[s-cars] A4 timing belt change - need help with BTDT

I got ECS Tuning's kit Dave when I did it on our 99.5 1.8T.   I think there's a link somewhere to Igor Kessel's head rebuild that I used as a guide (I had a tensioner failure that caused a big mess) but the one thing he stressed is to use the OE water pump belt, not the one supplied (at the time) in the kit, because of the angle of the "V" in the belt not being right and causing slippage and subsequent hot-running.  I still have the belt supplied in the kit in my garage.

I don't know much more in terms of details but that much I do remember.

I have done plenty of 5 cylinders but this will be my first 1.8t.

What brand water pump?  (sorry, can never seem to remember)

What should I change besides the standard rollers and water pump?

Kase, out...
