There is almost zero overlap between these two jobs.

To access the older Continental HPFP you just need to take off the throttle body and charge pipe. For the newer Bosch pump you'll need to remove the intake manifold. I'm guessing your car is older if you're considering this at all. Is there anything wrong with your HPFP?
