It is hard to say, but whatever you do, do not settle for a knock-off assembly or pump. I did recently and it nearly cost me my car. See my post about a week ago.
My original one lasted 197k.
Further, it appears that all the plastic assembly pieces are made in china. The Walbro assembly I purchased said "Assembled in Poland" but looked just like the Professional Parts Sweden (made in china) one I put in originally. The Welbro assembly I bought did have the actual Walbro pump in it, and the fuel lines looked more robust. Further it had the "Saab" markings on it but they were rubbed off.
