the problem is a srs module error detection when the seat belt light, airbag light, and "!" light are all on. the oil pressure gauge being faulty is its own issue. to fix the 3 lights that stay on you have 3 options. option 1: take it to a porsche dealer and see if they can clear the fault code using a reset tool, option 2: find the orange srs module located behind the passenger glove box unplug the 7 pin connecter and jump pin 3 to 4 on the car side of the harness leaving the plugs unplugged. option 3: on the same plug found in option 2 cut the pin 5 and 7 wires but leave it plugged in after they are cut.

I ponder this question with guys who've driven and wrenched both....

with Rogue Ant introducing nice 3.0 turbo builds using easy to source GM parts, is a 944T a great parts car for a 968 turbo?

thanks for the info, just a few years late!

don't think i haven't thought about it! although that particular turbo is long gone. arthrorpraxis is cruising around SC with a V8 in it now...

it takes about 4~5 used 944T engines to go half the distance of 1 decent used V8.

wish it weren't so.

even if he thinks 600 hp is better, i'd be thrilled to drive a 325 hp Rogue 3.0 that could run 200,000~300,000 miles before burping a rod.

would be sick for serious highway cruising, twisties, etc......

stress this represents for all of us.... nobody wants to hear about any more explosions.
