If your gonna run an electric water pump then you need to remove your thermostat in favour of their ect for managing temperature.

The reason why the centrifugal pumps can fail is if their is a restriction in the flow it stuffs the motor. In their instruction manuals they give you an option of running their ECT or drilling a hole in your thermostat to allow some flow whilst the engine is still cold.

Everyone i spoke to however, who has done the drilling option it has stuffed in a couple months max. all up the power gains of removing the mechanical pump are negligable, and the hassles with either removing the machnical impeller, or removing the water pump pulley make it time consuming and frustrating.

IMO...if it aint broke, dont fix it
