Yeah, ur probaly right, but as Pelican Parts refered: "the Boxster coolant reservoir is one of the worst design and solution evere made in car industry, they have redisigned the coolant and still it cracks"..... so if a non OEM manufacture produce same item may be a better quality, just like the Flat Six IMS retrofit. a non OEM supplier.

Sorry but don't compare this company with one that attempts to upgrade parts for your Porsche! It is no doubt a cheap Chinese knock-off of the original made with suspect plastic. How well do you think it will hold up to various high heat and coolling cycles under pressure? My 2000 has its original expansion tank that is still going strong. When it does go, I will replace with a genuine Porsche part and hope to get another 13 years!
