Guess I should have prefaced with best price on factory part.
I guess you're not understanding. Pierburg is a supplier of Porsche's water pumps. Just because it says genuine Porsche does not mean it's made by Porsche. Jake Raby stated that he only buys water pumps directly from Porsche and that he has seen them use 3 different suppliers.

Who makes the original Porsche water pumps?

The pump is made by Pierburg, not FCP lol.
