Parts were $372.75 from our forum sponsor. I bought the kit at the top of the page which includes the water pump, gasket, and low temp thermostat. You'll also need 2-3 gallons of coolant ($35 per gal from Porsche) and a bit of gasket sealant.

The DIY instructions are here. Looks like about a half day job max. My local indy wanted $550 in labor. Over $500 in savings is enough to get my fat lazy butt off the couch. Your motivations may vary.
