Default Fuel Pump Questions

I am looking at replacing my fuel pump and I have a few questions...

I found this one for $85 and wondered if it was a good one
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_A4-...All/ES2091195/

Is there anything I need to be replacing while doing this like my Fuel Pump Relay, Fuel Sending Unit, etc.?

Would this solve my pulsing acceleration problem and wooshing/ humming sound coming from the rear of my car right after start up?

Could the pulsing acceleration also be related to my Wastegate going bad?

New to the forums, don't know too much, any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

In the future specify which year, engine, mileage, etc. If you have fuel pump noise and power pulsations, yes the pump may be bad. Just be sure to run your tank low on fuel before changing the pump, so you don't have to reach into the gas. I changed mine in January, paid a similar price from a different company. The fuel pump relay may be fine, however I'd take it out and clean the contacts anyway. When you get the pump out, take a picture before disconnecting the hoses and wiring, so it goes back the same.

Alright, thanks for the advice! I'll remember that next time.
