SBG GB: Competition Electric Water Pump Upgrade Kit

[ninesixtwo]

So what does this system use for a failsafe/warning in case of pump failure? I know EWPs are a relatively new item to the rotary market, but BMW have been using them in factory cars in tandem with electronically controlled thermostats for a decade now. There are very few things that kill an engine faster than a seized water pump

There's an optional LED light you can put in the cockpit that wires in to the controller to warn of a pump failure. The LCD controller has a built in audible indicator if a failure is present.

What's the fail safe for a failing stock pump? We've had many fail and our only indication is the temp needle moving up.
