Aftermarket waterpump?

[silverboxter]

as far as i know, i'm getting porsche pumps and porsche fluids.
what are your experiences with porsche pumps?

my first one failed at 66k miles. this was the pump that came from the factory using factory juices.

the pump on my other boxster just failed at 48k miles. again, factory pump and factory juices.

i'm looking for a pump that will last a bit longer.

any experiences with aftermarket pumps? or are we all just installing a new porsche pump with a limited lifetime of 50-60k miles?

i replaced my oem pump with a e-bay unit about 1 year, 5k, back and it is working fine, the original started to leak at about 50k. not sure how long this one will last, but it is doing well so far. not sure which direction I would have gone in if I was paying for the labor, but I do all my own work.
