GT2 slave cylinder conversion
just picked up an '02 996tt with 50K miles and everything checked out except a small leak in the clutch master cylinder (I read this is typical).
I'm thinking about doing the GT2 conversion but was quoted $2K for parts and labor which seems a bit steep, even for the South Florida market. Is that a fair price for the EVOMS kit installed? Thank you all in advance

Nice looking car!
Depending on their labor rate, it's not a crazy number...could you find it done for less? probably a little...

heres the deal. evoms uses all factory gt2 parts and they add a bracket and a braided hose. if you drill the trans and use factory parts the cost is about 600$ plus labor. this is about a 5 on 10 scale to do. gt2 conversion requires removing the coupler from the power steering pump and replacing the master cylinder in the cabin. this is harder than anything you do on the trans.
fwiw i would replace the m/c and enjoy the car for now. if you need to drop the trans for any reason thats the time to do the mod. at the same time do the 8mm ball bearing mod and drop the weights off the shift links.

BBi Autosport Porsche 996 & 997 Turbo Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Upgrade Kit
Rennlist Members,
We released our Porsche GT2 slave cylinder conversion earlier this year. It is a direct OEM replacement that does not require any additional parts. Please check out below and let us know if you have any questions! We are expecting to receive another production in soon.
BBi Autosport Porsche 996 & 997 Turbo Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Upgrade Kit
Always striving for innovation, BBi Autosport is proud to announce our new highly anticipated Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Kit for the Porsche 996 and 997 Turbo. After successfully tested on both the streets and tracks for over a year, the Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion is finally available.
The factory power-assisted clutch system has always been the Achilles heel for the Porsche 997 Turbo. Utilizing the power steering system to help reduce the force needed to depress the clutch pedal, it is a flawed design that delivers a mushy pedal feel with poor feedback, and is highly prone to failure. Our system addresses both of those issues by eliminating the problematic factory power-assist system for improved reliability and pedal feedback. Unlike other kits, our system is designed be used with OEM clutch master cylinder, hose, and spring pack. This eliminates the need for additional parts, making our kit a complete plug and play solution.
The other kits on the market simply adapts factory 996 GT2 parts with aftermarket brackets and caps off the power steering pump with plugs. Our kit is our very own proprietary design and does not plug the power steering pump because the plugs can fail. Instead, the power steering fluid is routed through the unit to simulate the factory system. With the failure of the factory system inevitable, this is a must upgrade for the 996 and 997 Turbo to achieve the excellent pedal feedback and reliability similar to that of the Porsche 997 GT2 and GT3 without compromising drivability.

BBi Autosport Porsche 996 997 Turbo Slave Cylinder Conversion
CincyScott,
Designed to be slightly softer than GT2 version, our lead technician - who have driven many of these cars of the years - reported that the pedal feel is very close. This conversion kit is installed on one of our flagship project cars (shown below) here at BBi Autosport and we received positive feedback from the client after taking delivery. They are currently on back-order and we will try to get our clients and dealers to post up reviews soon.
