... I would guess that if you ordered a relay from Porsche, it might come in as "Made in Germany." Of course, orderiing directly from Porsche means that you will pay about twice as much for this relay. As it is, the cost of this thing is somewhat rediculous for the part that it is.

Out of curiosity, I checked out this relay when I was at my local Porsche dealer today. Sure enough, it said "Made in China" right on top of the relay, not "Made in Germany". The dealer's list price was $25.21...factor in the 20% discount they graciously provide and the price is $20.17. If I recall correctly, the Pelican price is $19.75.
