It is under the passenger side intercooler pipe, right on top of the water neck. Do yourself a favor and run to AutoZone and borrow a coolant pressurizer. IMO it is a must to get all the air out.

I think it would be this bolt their. Let me know if I'm correct. That seems logical but knowing Porsche designers..it could be anyone.

Thanks man

Nooooo, that's a head stud nut.

Look up and to the left, to the small hex bolt in the metal water neck, you vent from there.

ohhh I see... actually on the water neck..that makes sense. Almost ready to go!
(I have since moved the fuel pressure gauge to the other side)

Thanks guys.

Does anyone know who made the stock suspension on the 1988 turbo's. I have bilstein but I'm trying to figure out if their original. I check out clarks garage and he skipped over that part. any info or help is appreciated.

what is on your intake manifold? powder coat?

Seattle944

It's wrinkle coating high temp. I did most of my water pipes, boost path, and intake manifold.

Original should be Boge (or Koni if M030)...sounds like you've got aftermarket stuff.

Thanks for the info. I check my springs looking for rates but I couldn't see any right off the bat. Thanks for the info.

Shoot some pics of the setup.

driving yet?

I'll get some pics later this week. Not driving...waiting on 3" coupler off the turbo should be here tomorrow. I do have a couple of questions, I'm going to pull the plugs, DME relay, and turn it over a couple times before I start it up.
Questions; How long should i let it idle for before I shut it down? Also I plan on gradually upping the boost starting at about 10-12-14 etc. Does that sound about right? I guess the main question is how long should I let it idle before I start driving it around? Thanks guys. Also..stay tuned..I installed water/meth. and I'm going to end the discussion once and for all about how much power it throws down on my car.

i just let mine warm up and drove it up and down my street softly because i had stale (6 month old) fuel in it. then i put 98ron in it and kept it on 7psi for a bit then boosted it

What line are you talking about? I keep thinking their is another line that comes off off the third numb their. (I don't know what that thing is called) does that line go to the wastegate?

Seattle944

edit: here is the pic with the empty numb..where does this go. I don't think it's had anything on it since I bought the car. I run a duel port tial wastegate with one line going in the side and the top open.
