Yeah, and were probably looking for the engine, too!

Ok so in total, how many miles have you put on it? I've been working all day so far and have had nothing better to do than to read this entire thread while watching movies on Netflix.

What's the boost up to now? hmmmmm?

That's probably the only piece of pluming I don't have an issue with ...
I'm the first to admit.... Way too long....
Though beautiful things, do take time...

Being the self-effacing guy I am, I was never known to be thinned skinned ...
Especially when its true

The Mechanic was also very impressed with how the tool would adjust the rear suspension on the car. He thought it was cool how Porsche set it up and was showing the other car nut mechanics.

Apparently they were all just looking at the car. One guy who was familiar with 944s, mentioned that quite a bit of money had been dumped into "this thing."

I think I'm up to around 325 miles. Everything is going well so far, and boost has been set to 15lbs.

Thanks! So long as the snow stays away, I am going to put as many miles on her as I can!

Pulled out to pass these two cars that were going 10 below the speed limit today (55 in a 65)...4th gear, don't remember RPM, but by the time I was back in the lane I was at 115mph...and that was at 13lbs!

In all honesty I don't like to speed very often, and rarely break triple digits (no need for it on public roads, even tho I'm sounding like a hypocrite right now...). This thing builds speed like it's nothing! I have to be more careful...

LOL sure. That's the oil or cooling adapter fitting for a k series turbo. Jim needed this part. I was being a ******* to him and told him i was going to charge him for the copper washer and he said its like him charging someone the safety wire in wiring CV bolts. So as a joke i put the safety wire in order to hold the copper washer. took a picture and sent it over to him. I ended up driving over to his house and giving to him for free

Rather fun isn't it passing with a 3.0L I like to look at it as minimizing risk driving in the oncoming traffic lane
