Default Fuel Pump Issue?

Hello all,
I have an issue I believe to be the fuel pump. I took a moderate left turn and then the ride started to stumble. Now wont even idle right, just barely runs, let alone move. Primed PSI is about 18 and running is 10. So I imagine its the pump correct? Couldn't possibly be the filter? Any other suggestions?

Also, if it is indeed the fuel pump; where can I get one? It seems everyone wants to sell me the whole damned assembly, which I dont need nor can afford.
TIA

why cant it be the filter? the fuel pump primes, so you at least know it works to some extent. replace the filter, then check the pressure at the rail again. SDPC or rockauto should have pumps.

Can someone please tell me how to remove the the pump from the module? And why in the hell is my pump WAY further back in comparison to all the others? I cut in the same place as all the videos show. Yet I could barely see my pump. Had to cut even further back towards the rear of the car.

Need some help on a purchase please. According to the listing, the one pictured below will fit my car. But its missing the smaller inlet/outlet thats on the factory pump. Please explain to me what this is, and if I could still use the possible pump without issue.The red X indicates the hole missing.
