My next car I got a Hepu pump, which FCP lists as an OEM supplier. The impeller is plastic (or composite, I don't remember), but overall the part is so much nicer.
Pros: part is so much nicer

It was a while ago, but I think I used a HEPU pump when I did mine.

i bought the dieselgeek timing belt kit which includes the Behr german Thermostat and Hepu water pump. he says that the stock OE style thermostat is better and the reman OE pump (which now uses metal impellors) is better than the hepu.
Replacement HEPU water pump is now leaking… from the freeze plug.. gonna let it ride and try a different brand when I change the belt in 50K miles
Cons: leaking from freeze plug
I’ve now popped two water pumps. Each of them have sprung a leak from the freeze plug. I seat the pump and o-ring by hand then torque bolts to spec.. each time they’ve been good for about a month or so, then start leaking from the freeze plug.. both pumps have been made by HEPU.
Cons: leaking from freeze plug, short lifespan
I had a defective hepu pump that leaked also. Only had about 20k miles on it
Cons: defective, leaked
Mileage: 20000 km
