    My friend installed one on his NA8. No issues from him

    A bit of digging suggests that the 949Racing water pump they supply is a Gates.

    Also, difference between impellers for OEM vs Gates is that OEM has a spot welded impeller whereas Gates has a cast impeller. What this means exactly im not sure. High flow maybe? But given Gates is a pretty reliable and quality brand name, I'd consider using one if I were in your shoes
