I re-soldered my DME. No start issue solved. Saved some $$$ compared to shipping it out

Yep, 7295K13 from McMaster. At least that's what I use - they're designed a little different, so not concours but...$0.15/per...

If you have a part number, just type it into google search and you will likely get a list of who would carry it and if you go to their site you should get a price.
I found some trim related clips and screw covers were common with VW and at a significant saving over a Porsche supplier.
I made a spreadsheet of part numbers and prices using this process to decide who to order from.
SOMETIMES the part isn't there so you already have a list of who might be next and what they will charge.
In a couple of cases I didn't go with least expensive as I wanted to support a supplier that had helped me out in an earlier purchase when no-one else seemed to have the part or care.

That seems too cheap to be true - does sunset stock Uro parts? I've used Laso pumps recently, my last was from ECS...though I'd probably go see if FCP stocks Laso pumps and get one there for the warranty nowadays.

No input on the rest..though I'm glad at least someone else forked over for the ~genuine~ mounts recently

had a problem with the water pump, what water pump do you guys recommend?, the factory one is almost $1000.

Yes, get a Laso water pump. Google for best price, but get a NEW, rather than rebuilt. Make sure it's for your 951 and not an S2 or 968.

I also STRONGLY recommend ACL (race) rod bearings, and NOT the Glyco or Porsche ones which won't take a beating. Google these too and be sure to get the proper size for your crank's rod journals. Glyco or factory main bearings will be fine.
