    The pump now has a nice six blade impeller. I had picked up another pump for a spare from another auto parts store and it was a different manufactures pump. It was the same shape and size on the outside but built a bit differently. Anyways, after taking it apart I noticed the different impeller, which looked nicer than the first one. It fit the first pump just fine so that's what its got right now. I might do a flow test to see if there's any difference from the .83 GPM benchmark the pump pushed in the first test.

    What was the price on the pump at the auto parts place? (the original pump and the parts pump) :)

    The TAAP brand is held together with screws which makes it easy to mod. Other brands are riveted together.
    Caveat, I have only bench tested this pump. It has not been battle tested.... yet!
