Yes. Non-Porsche. 3 ounces lighter than the Porsche pump.

don't use non-OEM

I few years ago I picked up a handful of non-OEM WP to save a few $$.

Installed 2 of them in family cars ---

One failed within 1K miles the other I pulled and it was already wobbling.

OEM might only last 30K miles -- but I would not trust a non-OEM one again.
