This really is the swap to do for the 944, and I might just have to do it myself.

I live in CA. So with that beauty of an intake, it just might have to be for off-road use only!

Yeah we're really happy with how the intakes turned out. 25 of them are going to be made in this run, so it's a major investment. Glad you guys are jumping on board with the pre-orders to help our cash flow!

Just.... Don't pay attention to the number of tabs I have open 😜


There's more goodies up there too, see for yourself!

Any of you early car guys have your factory harness handy where you can measure the OD (Inside the two ridges) of this grommet for us? The ID of the firewall hole would work just as well, if not better. Thanks guys!

So , looking like the harnesses and ECU setup are moving along pretty well once the grommet issue has been figured out .

This grommet is the last hurdle! Turns out early and late cars are different. We believe we have a solution and will report soon.
