  Shouldn't have much problems with the morons here irking you.  We're 
quite content with just irking eachother!  ;-)
  You can put just about any vw pump on it you like, you just have to 
time it to the specs that came with the car the replacement pump 
comes off of.  A 1.5 pump will time at .88mm with a possible .95mm 
allowance or 1.15mm depending on which pump.  Yours probably 
timed at .95mm (without looking it up.)
  Watch the belt tension, that'll wear that input shaft bushing much 
faster if it's too tight.  Of course you don't want it too loose either.
