I am not big on OEM Porsche parts like most people are, in fact I'd love it if we had every part for our engines made in our network. The water pumps are worth the extra money.
So if I walk into a Porsche dealer and buy a water pump in a Porsche box then I can assume that it is a solid 3 years and that it is as good or better than the one that it is replacing.

Is this what you are saying Jake?
