Watch out for brake rotors as well. I got a set off eBay for another car. Plenty cheap and not well made but working fine.
Might be OK for light street driving but at the track go name brand.

I am fortunate to work next to a Machine shop here at my place of employment. I handed the pump to a Machinist. He took his finger and spun the impeller right off the shaft. He said they were relying on a press fit. And he saw no sign of the manufacturer even trying to use loctite red to hold the fit.
Does anyone know how the Porsche pump impellers are held on?

This copy from the add "Here's a brand new PORSCHE 928 WATER PUMP " is REALLY misleading and probably illegal . If it said new pump which FITS a Porsche 928 ....made in China
