There are lots of threads about waterpumps, metal vs composite impellers, etc. Either go with Porsche or Pierburg. Pierburg makes the WP for Porsche

Go to warehouse33.net and get a Pierburg pump. If you email Jason there and tell him you are a rennlist member, he will give you 10% off so the WP is around $190.

replace the thermostat while you are in there, under $50. and don't forget the 3 gallons of virgin unicorn sperm know as Porsche Coolant. I just did my WP, thermostat and coolant flush and it came to around $350 including free freight

Also replace the WP bolts ()less that $5.00) . Even at 7 ftlbs, I somehow torqued off the head of one of the old ones
