Default Regular or high output fuel pump?

So my fuel pump died yesterday, so obviously I'm in the market for a new one. The best price I have found is $90 95lph from a US seller with a storefront and lifetime replacement warrenty. Or a Walbloro 255lbh for $160 with lifetime warrenty. Is the extra gas worth it for my set up (as listed in signature)? Or should the 95lph be just fine for me. Also I looked under the back seat and the fuel pump isn't there, I heard some have them in the trunk under the mat, where is mine?? Thanks guys I really appreciate it

The 95lph will be fine for your setup, but if you're planning on going bigger in the future you may as well spend the extra cash now and then you won't have to worry about it later. The fuel pump access is under a round panel beneath the back seat. You'll need to remove the little access panel to get to it, it won't just be chilling there by itself.

You mean the round plate is underneath the mat in the trunk? I can guarantee that's where it's located.

OP: on Fourtitude.com forums there is a seller called Pat@PMEngineering or something to that effect. They sell various fuel pumps. I bought their Deutchwerks 300 LPH fuel pump @ $165. The Walbro isn't known for reliability, and is known for noise. This Deutchwerks pump is a little higher pitched than stock, but it's quieter than stock!! And it flows 300 LPH... and is compatible with e85. Here's the link:

The pump is $160 because it comes as a drop in replacement with a casing included, link:
255LPH Walbro Fuel Pump Audi A4 Quattro S4 1994-2001 | eBay
TO be honest im not a wiring guy, i would probably screw something up if i tried to wire a new high output fuel pump so i would like a drop in replacement. Im not completely sure if i understand the benefit of a high flow pump, with a high flow pump will i see better acceleration? Or is it purely for bigger set ups (which i dont have yet) and just supplies enough gas? In probably 1-1/2 years i will buy a frakenturbo. But with christmas right around the corner i am rather broke, Stock or High output??
