if you looked in the Turbo FAQ topic, you'd find the answer

http://z4.invisionfree.com/lexusaltezzaclu...pic=7121&st=175

you want the GSS342.

After experiencing how noisy mine is (i've got a 342, and you can hear it whining from inside the car), i'd go for a Sard one, or look at which OEM ones fit and have a decent capacity (JZA80 TT one springs to mind)

I have a JZA80 one in my car, you can hear it start up and a quiet whine from the outside of the car while it's running but nothing inside the cabin.

Think they retail for ~$400 at repco, best bet is to find someone who can get them on staff then they cost $120.

it was a xmas special apparently, on the auction they showed a pic of the bottom of a fake walbro and a real wallbro pump to show the difference between them, and how to spot a fake one. cheers for info anyway...it made good reading!

well, ive had to leave out the rubber isolator at the bottom between the fuel pump and the plastic bracket end cap to make it fit into the bracket and tank, does anybody think its a bad idea to do that as i guess it was there in the first place for a reason (vibration/noise)??? the pump is very secure without it. ive read it on here that another member had done it this way and i guess hez had no issues??? your thoughts are appreciated as i dont wana go blowing me up or my car, cheers.

i had to do that on mine, as the pump isnt a direct fit. Yet to experience any issues with it.
