Simple answer
Composite impeller. If the bearing fails and the impeller gets wobbly, it can machine the block causing many problems. There are lots of posts on this topic

I got the Pierburg WP which is the same as the Porsche OE WP and even has the Porsche part number stamped in it. Same item, lower cost. No Porsche tax

I did a lot of searching and Warehouse 33 was not only the best $$, the service is the best I have found

FYI, Other than being a customer, I have no association with them
