Default Best Place to Buy a 6Cup Fuel Pump?

I've got a stock tank with the standard fuel pump in my car, where is the best place to buy a replacement pump?

Unfortunately mine gave up on me this past weekend at Sebring...

Not sure if Cup car fuel pump is any different from a street 996 pump I just bought and installed one in my 996 street car best price I found was from Sunset Porsche I bought a factory pump.

Article number is 996.620.057.90

Cheapest one I found on the net is this:

https://www.rosepassion.com/de/teile...282-753-136090

It is the same as on the 996 GT3 Mk2

But it looks like the pump itself is removable.
Perhaps something from walbro is useable.

The pump is the same as 996GT3 pump. I just purchased 3 from Porsche. 2 were faulty, 1 was good. All the pumps has 2019 year of manufacture. There appears to be a bad batch of pumps in the Porsche supply chain right now. If you buy a new pump, check to make sure that the "dead" nipple on the basket is clocked off internally. Two of the faulty pumps we received from Porsche had the port open. A technical bulletin has been filed with Porsche with regards to this but it may be while before this is resolved.

Thanks everyone, it appears I may have a line on one from the prior owner of my car who has one new in a box at his shop.

John - which one is the "dead" nipple? If the one I get doesn't have it correct can I just use the pump portion from the new part and put it into the existing assembly that I have?

What symptoms could be expected if fitting one of the faulty ones?

The "dead" nipple is the one that points up vertically. The "horizontal" nipple is what plugs into the Venturi tube. The unused nipple should be molded shut from the manufacturer but evidently there was a manufacturing defect and they are not allowing fuel to pass though.

Car will not run as it will not be able to maintain fuel pressure.
