Johnson SPX CM30 intercooler pump

Can somebody tell me if this is the Johnson cm30 intercooler pump that people are recommending to replace the OE with? I believe the part number matches besides the “02” at the end of this part number? I just want to make sure the fitting measurements are correct and compatible for my 04’ C32. If so, this is a great price!

Skip the johnson and get the factory bosch 010 pump.

It's superior to the johnson in flow rates and pressure.

Interesting, I wonder why so many upgrade to Johnson?! My C32 has relatively low miles @ 67k. I believe the original ic pump on my car is still working fine, but I was considering an upgrade to Johnson because so many rave about it.

I’m hesitant now, I personally felt like the oe Bosch would be superior.

It was all marketing and hype by aftermarket companies trying to sell extra parts when the OEM parts already installed were better. The Johnson pump even looks like an ebay made in China special when compared to stock.

Bosch manufactures quality parts, I was curious why so many switched to Johnson. I’m very picky when considering alternative parts, I trust companies like Febi..
