Be thankful its not a coupe B3/4 we went through 3 pumps during our ownership of a 2.2 quattro before the car was 16 years old and sold, they used to last 2 to 3 years max.
The main problem here should be fuel pressure required - new good manufacturer pump that is going to run @ 3-4 bar likely will last long time, but when it comes to K/KE jet, the durable solution will likely be bosch motorsport 044 fuel pump, solely because it has been made for powerful engines with high boost pressures...
