The Bosch pump used in our vans is not a turbine pump. It is a roller cell. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=roller+cell+fuel+pump&qpvt=roller+cell+fuel+pump&qpvt=roller+cell+fuel+pump&FORM=IGRE

The OEM Bosch 69414 pump is on the bottom of that page for $99. Bosch invented the turbine fuel pump, stick with the best.

Well, I've found this: http://goo.gl/0mw8MH

That's more affordable than the $150 I've seen for the Bosch pumps..
