It's just the piece that goes in the HP port. I think that part can be replaced but I'd have to look in the book to tell for sure.
Drilling the port out is part of moding the pump for more flow volume. The only problem is that you have to modify two things and the Tacoma pump has a swedged poppet valve so I couldn't get in there to make the offsetting mod. It worked great as long as the RPMs were up, all I had to do was think about a lane change. However, without the other mod it made driving it very interesting as it took some planning ahead when you came to a corner.

Yep, I just looked at the manual on-line and it shows the Pressure Port Union as a seperate part so it should be obtainable. I just could not get the flow control valve open to change it too. However, the stock pump seems to be good for a 1.5" assist cylinder.

I switched mine over to Amsoil awhile back, and it's worked well, I get almost no boil over now.

Yeah I run some Redline fluid that is supposed to be good for all of the PS systems out there either PS fluid or tranny fluid.
