I've always heard that new pumps are good for 90K miles. The original one in my 88 Turbo is now 21 years old with 68K miles on it and it seems to be fine. I checked it for leaks, shaft play etc. when I replaced the timing belt at 45K and when I recently re-tensioned at 60K and the pump seems to be holding up well. Personally, I would not take a chance with a rebuilt pump.....I have heard about quite a few failures, and the potential for disaster if the T-belt gets trashed far outweighs the cost savings of a rebuilt pump. Install a new one and sleep well at night.
