Default Replacing turbo electric water pump

Turns out the electric water pump for the turbo in my 951 is dead.

Anyone have one of these they are looking to sell ?

How difficult is it to replace ?

Thanks,
Mike.

Do you even really need this if you do proper cool downs or it it necessary to control temperature of turbo bearing while driving?

I recently got a new pump from Parts Heaven for $130 and it is an easy install once you have a few surrounding components removed.

Driving with a dead pump is no disaster (I did it for 3 years). The coolant in the turbo only boils after racing or when pushed really hard and even in that case the local boiling circulates the coolant and keeps the local temperature at about 100C. The pressure release in the coolant cap has to work well though.
