Stewart Stage 1 NOT HIGH FLOW

Just wanted to send out a warning to anyone in need of a new water pump. I ordered a Stewart water pump, because it was the most affordable pump advertised as High Flow. I got it today, and it turns out it's just a stock water pump. I compared the impellar to an old stock one laying around, and it's absolutely identical. I have attached a picture of the Stewart Water pump on the right, and the high flow water pump I took off the car on the left. You can clearly see the difference. Stewart advertises that the pump has a bearing that is five times stronger than stock, but if they are willing to lie about it being high flow, I remain dubious about the bearing quality. The Stewart water pump comes with a one year guarantee. You can get a new water pump from Advance with a lifetime guarantee, and it's about the same price. My recommendation is, if you need a new water pump, you are better off buying the one from Advance and getting the lifetime guarantee.
