Agreed that's also more versatile if for some reason we ever shove a CBFA water pump back in for whatever reason.
I'm hopeful this works out as expected keeping the keep it simple stupid principal :)
I recall the same thing from that video on YouTube as well Ronnie_B, if I remember right he did 2 rounds of machine work on it but I don't recall an update from him of success.
I think it may have been this one: (he left an update in the comments section)
Thanks
Ronnie_B it's hasn't been all that long but so far she looks to be just fine, my Mk6 has a full front to back APR K04 setup with meth injection and so far no CEL's, the temps all look good and she's operating 100% so far, so fingers crossed.
I'll update if I run into any snags, but I do have a...

What they did to solve the CEL was this (super simple)

Hi Ronnie I don't unfortunately.

My 2012 Mk6 GTI unfortunately with my luck was a CBFA.
It's eaten another water pump so my shop suggested an aluminum housed pump (they ordered a Graf unit).
They then found out my vehicle has that extra connector on it....
So I had them see if it would work, the aluminum water pump bolted on...
For those who may be interested in this information, I have a 2012 Mk6 CBFA GTI (CBFA is a royal PITA).
