I'd need to get Monotaro's page translated somehow to order something from them. A genuine 21111AA033 does not seem to be available here, but I'll go check from the local Subaru dealer.

All EU Spec SVX have the oil cooler, its one of the measures to get them Autobahn ready. Another one are the vented brake discs on the rear which -big surprise- arent available anymore, just like the water pumps.
Basicly the go to is that you only change the SVX waterpump if you absolutely have to and you always look for a company that restores the old one.
Another option was to get a foreign water pump (usually US as its cheapest to order from them) and have a company weld on the missing inlet.
But afaik original water pumps are out of stock completely and cant be ordered anywhere anymore. The gmb waterpumps might be a good replacement but I hope some americans can give some information on them. The GMB head gasket and timing belt stuff is usually pretty good.
