I think you meant to say "OE". OE does not equal OEM. For example:
OE= a Porsche water pump in a Porsche box
OEM= an approved Porsche part manufacturer, like Pierburg, NOT in a Porsche box, may or may not have a Porsche part number.
Third Party= someone who make water pumps, that does NOT supply to the Porsche supply-chain
Heck, even Jake Raby uses and recommends only a Porsche OE water pump.
Whatever you decide, just don't us a pump with a metal impeller, composite only.
