Yes to both questions, main fuel pump is different on a 16v however.

The 16v KR fuel pump is the same as the 8v EV (K-jet).

The 8v digi is different.

I was sure that I read somewhere the 16v pump was higher pressure  :undecided:

It is higher pressure, than the 8v digi - but its the same as the 8v k-jet.

(I've got a 16v pump on my 8v :) )
