Just like saying my doctor says I need brain surgery and that's all I need to know, don't ask any other questions. I have seen doctors, lawyers, car dealers and people in all other walks of life that are dumb as a box of rocks and I see no reason not to get all the information I can before I make decisions.
First of all, Porsche uses more than one supplier. Secondly, for the most part, these OEM pumps are often hard to find in the aftermarket (read at retail level). Thirdly, a lot of aftermarket vendors, Pelican included, state their parts are OEM when they clearly are not. So your probability of finding the correct manufacturer's unit at a better price than you can get from a Porsche dealer like Sunset are small to none; an exercise in futility..........
