Anyone running with a metal impeller water pump?

Great news. My memory was a little foggy. This pump has been sitting on the shelf for maybe 4 yrs.

Yeah, I procrastinate.

Do you have a new gasket? Some of the water pumps come with a felt or other type of gasket but for this one you want the OEM style metal gasket. If your original water pump is still on the car you will have to trim away the old gasket since it is shared with the oil pump housing. That is one way to tell if you are still on the original water pump when you remove it.

Lots of good details here:

Porsche Boxster Water Pump and Thermostat Replacement - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article

If you are down there it is a good time to replace the thermostat too.

Good luck with your project!
