Front lip was already with the car when I bought it, no idea who made it. I wasnt able to contact the owner who did most of the mods. Car should be quick when it will be runing like it has to run. Ive been plagued with boost leaks. Fixed them by replacing every vacuum/boost hose, now its pre turbo exhaust leaks, maybe even cracked header, cant see if it is since its wrapped. Las dyno I did I had major boost leak at one of the hardpipe connecting hoses and I was runing rich got 249whp. I should be maxing out my afm, but my car doesnt lean out, it just gets richer.. 
The thing is, the DME doesn't read the AFM at Wide Open Throttle, it runs off of it's tuning map. So the only thing the AFM becomes is an obstacle at wide open throttle.
You still didn't fix those engine mounts??!!

Your car looks great! As for the AFM, I ran one with a set of chips tuned for my K27/8@16psi.

Car is siting on the driveway. Calm down, anyway have you ever seen a broken 944 oil pan? Then Why I was told that they are incredibly strong? Its not like im racing in offroad rally. My brother did. Landed his audi on the bump with his oil pan, it exploded:
That needed a huge force.

Ive seen mechanics here in my shop crack oil pans when lifting engines out of cars and putting them on a table, and im talking hairline cracks. It doesnt happen all the time, but just once is enough to make sure you use extreme caution in the future. And here you are driving with it. Incredible...

Keep in mind that the entire 951 drive train (engine, clutch and bell housing, torque tube and transaxle) is normally only supported by three mounts - two engine mounts and the transaxle mount.
Now yours is supported by one engine mount, one transaxle mount and a Hockey Puck. If you go over a decent sized bump or pot hole then is possible for a very significant portion of the drivetrain weight to be supported by the puck and therefore the pan.
Last time I had an engine mount failure is was in the old GT350 - the torque of the engine caused it to lift up on the broken mount side and rip the oil filter off! its a good thing that I look at gauges a lot, turned the engine off before any internal damage....but I did leave a pretty impressive oil slick behind the car!
One other thing - I would guess that the only thing that could cause that arm to break is a pretty hefty accident. I would look for any other damage that was not fixed!
