While I was in there, I decided to replace the AOS O-rings so: New intake manifold gaskets/hardware as well as new AOS seals... It was a great opportunity to inspect existing conditions under the IM. I actually found more evidence of the mouse condo and a few loose vacuum hose clamps. Lots-O-Cleaning occured on the engine bay these past couple of days.
BTW: Those pink cable harness clips are very hard to locate but I found a source - Bresco Vehicle Services, Meadow Lane Industrial Estate, 14, Gordon Rd, Loughborough LE11 1JP, United Kingdom, Part No. FIX54P. They come in a bag of 25.
All back together and running. She ran for about 25 minutes, going through two cooling fan cycles with no issues. I was hoping to take her out this morning but there's a monsoon outside.
Oh yeah, new front pads and rotors were installed last night...I think I put in about 30 hrs working on the car since Friday morning so this really has become a disease (obsession).

Have you ever found a source for the red omega clips? Those seem to be the ones that I can't locate.
I found this from another thread. I haven't ordered the red ones since my car doesn't use them, but here are the part numbers for the Omega clips.
The red ones should be available from your dealer for ~$1.70 each.
Plastic Clips from Porsche, Larger to Smaller:
black 321.971.847.B yellow 321.971.847.A clear 171.971.847.A blue 113.142.261.A red 811.971.848.B green 999.651.168.40 gray 477.971.851 black 181.971.847
@Dmitry S. : It might have been you that I stole the list from for my archives but it was pointed out to me that the part number for the red clips, in particular, is not correct, and references a metal clip of some sort. I had some trouble tracking down a reliable picture at the time, but thought that I would pass on that feedback.
Regardless, it sounds like a reliable source has been identified.
