Just as a FYI, you may want to run a straight nipple on the top of your LR dual-port. IIRC, it was pretty much a straight shot from the engine bay to the waste gate and it was easier to run both lines together with straight nipple on top and a 90° on the side.
I'm running a LR Clubgate in dual-port mode. I used Aeroquip AQP socketless hose so I can have a cleaner look without using clamps.

I was wondering if that 90 degree at the top was going to pose a problem?
Actually I bought the Parker socketless hose for this, but was going to reserve it for the top connection, where it connects to the boost line, on the 3 headed monster
Thanks for that tip

To the original poster,
I think a couple things have happened. A lot of the old blood has simply either sold their Porsches and moved on, or have hit that point in their life where they could afford to upgrade to another model. It seems there is getting to be a lot of technical stuff in the 993/996/997 boards now, much more so than before, and I know quite a few guys have ended up over there. The cars have gotten really cheap now, so younger people with less experience are scooping them up, so IMHO the knowledge base by default decreases. They will learn in time as well, and eventually give advice, then when that group of people decide to upgrade or leave, we return to the question at hand. There are still a few really knowledgeable people hanging out and contributing.
The other thing is that most of the questions that pop up now, have already been answered 100 times before, so most guys just skip over them. The issue, is that the search function sucks compared to what it use to be (IIRC when IB did an updated shortly after purchasing the board, it became pretty much useless). I remember typing something into the search function and getting great results, now you type something in the search function and it takes you a lot longer to weed through the junk. Since the search function sucks, it is quicker to type the question to the board.....only no one will answer it because it has been done so many times before. Its a vicious circle.
I think in general, the forum traffic (on a lot of the internet forums across the board) seems to have really decreased in the last year or two.

If you bothered to read ... you would see that the flange extension, was put on after ( by Porsche) as it was clear that the pipe was cracking around the flange.
The pipe on the right of the picture, I posted, (from an 86) was indeed cracked and then welded in order to repair it ...
So there are a lot of things one can do ...
But I'm thinking, following your advice, would not be the way to go

You're acting like a dick after whining like a girl, all because no one answered you within an HOUR of your post in someone else's thread you crashed!
To top it all off you found your OWN answer after searching!
You sir are due for a gold star today.

He is only acting like a dick in response to another individual (do a little search yourself and see how helpful he ever really is...). You sir are also a acting like a dick. Take it elsewhere if what you have to say is irrelevant. Your idiotic response in this thread is unwanted.
Ed, feel free to PM or call me with questions if you don't feel like puttng up with petty bull****. You have my number.
