Maybe next time. Robert had planned for he and his son to make this trip together for a while. And as you must be aware, the 928 is only technically a 2+2.

Default couple more pics

Car fired right up yesterday and boogied sown the road!!

But we did run into one snag... when we connected the shark tuner nothing happened. Apparently the LH had gone out on it at some point and a repaired one was put in. Problem is it was not a JDS Porsche repair, so it was not repaired correctly. When someone else did the repairs they did not include the K & L data lines. So the sharktuner or Hammer or whatever will not work. So this morning I am taking the LH out of my car and doing a final tune to his car. Then either send him home with mine and get his fixed, or once the final tune is done, just transfer the data over to his PEMs.

one last quick picture to share that I liked.
Just wish I would have cleaned my stupid fingerprints off the charger first.

Wow! Was this a one day install ?? How cool is that!?!? Very nice job... I dont know if you can SC an S3 or not because of the organ pipe intake, but that doesnt keep me from thinking about it Well, on second thought... I've seen Spaceballs - once you set it up for LUDICROUS SPEED everything goes to plaid

Again, great job on one SCHWEEEEET looking 928!

Yes I hung the supercharger installed the PEMs and air filters and took her for a drive in one day, but remember I have done this many many times. The car started right up and ran great. Like always when dealing with these cars you run into issues here and there, so you need to plan on a full weekend to get it done. We spent the whole weekend working on the car, and it still could have used a little more testing time before he drove back to TN.

Thanks Austin... it was nice to work on such a beautiful car and the engine compartment looked great before I ever got to it.
