Paul, why bother with non OEM? You turn your own wrenches, so no crazy labor charge. A new OEM pump and gasket (part codes: 99610634054 and 99610601155) runs about $210. How much can you save on non OEM and at what "cost"?

I usually use Porsche parts, but Jake seems to be making some good parts for other repairs. I'm looking for a recommendation.

I've taken my 01 on several 2000 mile one way trips and want to get it ready for several more. So far the cooling system has not been opened.
