Just bought a 2006 Boxster

Talked with a rep at Raby, they said to replace the water pump and AOS. I am also look at getting a new low temp thermostat. They sell a water pump and thermostat kit on pelican for around $305.00. I see the Porsche water pump alone is over $400. Is there a better brand of pump I should take a look at? Do you guys think these repairs are a good idea?

Welcome!

What part of IA are you located?

To answer your WP ques, no other brand is better / preferred. Do a search on waterpump and you'll find lots of reading. Search is your friend on lots of questions.

I'm in Guttenberg. I'm taking it to my mechanic next week. I'll see what he thinks too.

Looks like you're way in the northeast corner of the state. I was going to suggest swinging down to RPM the last w/e in Apr as the GPR Porsche Club is doing a DE there. But Glenwood, IA is a bit of a hike from your neck of the woods.
