Default Replacing OEM fuel pump with Soarer pump?

Hey guys, i've searched high and low and couldn't come up with an answer.

My sc300's OEM fuel pump is on its deathbed right now and i've managed to get my hands on a soarer fuel pump. I was wondering if this would be a drop-in deal, or are the hangers different? Also, would it work with the stock fuel ECU and OEM fuel lines? Im going to bypass the ECU anyway, but im throwing that in as "just in case" or future reference.

Thanks!

Update: They both look exactly the same, as well as the brackets and wiring. Replacing this fixed:
-erratic/lumpy idle that sounded like I had cams
-somewhat violent jolting/bogging when applying gas while cruising slowly on a high gear
-Jolting/bogging while driving high speeds (70-90 mph)

At first I was suspecting my IAC or TPS (my ECU is throwing a tps code actually), but this pretty much fixed a whole lot of things that were wrong.

Is the soarer pump any different? For example can it handle more power? Is it anything like a supra pump? Just curious?
