Nah, those Facet pumps are fine on cars with carbs but for injection engines you need the proper high pressure Bosch pump. They are a specific pump on multi point injection engines too, make sure you get the right one.
IIRC they're about £140 from the stealers?

yeah that pump pictured is totally unsuitable for a g40.  It's a low pressure pump for carbs.  Although you can use it on a g40 as a stand-alone oil supply pump  :)
