Purely personal aesthetics, but I would center the crest high and put the twin and turbo words to either side low.

I agree.

Also, Tuomo, unless you have a further power iteration on the books, I think this qualifies as a "Twin Turbo S"

The 944 turbo airbox lid has a subtle turbo script in black which is molded into the plastic. This is the furthest I might go, however I would prefer to keep things low key and would not add anything. It would look like it's pretending something while it doesn't have anything to prove anymore. The small Kuhn plate at the front is all that's needed.

If you go with black lettering for PORSCHE on the intake, it will tie everything together nicely with no need for the logo/crest.

I like that look better. Just personal preference, though.

Default Yet another potential decal arrangement:

How about this?

I personally like the "crest in the center" version. In an engine bay like this, you need one "busy" decal and everything else plain and/or all business.

That was a nice look too. Whatever makes you happy is the best option If I were to see either of those configurations under a hood while wandering through a car show, I wouldn't think it looked out of place.

All of them work. For me, I only just glance at the badging for a moment. Its all about the fit and finish, the design and layout, and the care to install it smartly. Yours is excellent.

Tangent --

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the gear drives and screws on all those hose clamps should be underneath rather than busying up the otherwise very clean appearance? I know the factory put all that stuff on top on the earlier spider and organ-pipe manifolds, but honestly I think those would benefit too from just showing the bands on the top.
