I've been told there have been problems with autozone and advance pumps.

I HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT use an AutoZone or / Advance Auto water pump. They have lifetime warranties, but I can tell you from experience. That warranty means CRAP after you have replaced the same pump 3-4 times. On a DSM the implications could be even more expensive if the Timing belt gets slippery coolant all over it while running.
Spend the extra few dollars for a piece of mind. Nothing's perfect, but you are really gambling with the cheap pumps. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

finally (after 1yr) got the car to start on it's own on the first try. i had to replace the Engine Coolant Temp Sensor.
950's are going in this afternoon. i'm still looking for a EVOIII 16g or bigger if anyone knows of anything...it would be appreciated. i've found a few on ebay made by Journal Bearings....has anyone ever heard of them? the rest of my 3" exhaust is in the mail. i'm still havn't gotten my test pipe yet though. the goal for the car is between 300hp and 350hp. i believe that this engine dyno'd at 370hp with a frank3 on it. -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

Never heard of Journal Bearings on ebay.
Punishment Racing is selling a China made turbo on ebay. Punishment has a good reputation and it comes with a warenty. I'd look into that one if you're the "ebay" turbo route. Old Ebay Link -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
