The Porsche "brand" water pump IS a Pierburg WP. They are one in the same. The Pierburg one I bought had a Porsche part number on it.
Do not use anything but a composite blade WP
And yes, change to a low temp thermostat, there is no downside
I bought my WP, low temp thermostat in housing and 3 gal of Porsche unicorn sperm, better known as coolant at warehouse33auto.com it was around $350 delivered. If you put RENNLIST in the promo/discount box when checking out you get an additional 10% discount
