If you're serious about that, contact me privately and I'll point you in the right direction. SQ trans is hard to beat though. They can make up many tenths per shift on the old tractor Porsche H pattern. But you'll have fun getting faster and faster.

Also on a side note, does anyone have tips on how to get the oil pan core off? I got all the bolts out except for the one I assume is under the front seal. I have the front seal unbolted but I can't seam to pry the plate off without damaging it. I'm pretty sure its stuck on the crank seal. Is there any way of removing that plate without bending it?

Thanks

Remove the plastic and rubber end pieces from the 944 cable, and remove the aluminum end piece from the Lokar cable, and install the 944 pieces on the Lokar cable. It's much easier than trying to attach the aluminum Lokar end piece to the pedal linkage, IMO (I tried it a couple times and ripped my hair out in frustration before I figured out that the 944 pieces could be used).

The plan is 600+ wheel horsepower, sub 2500#, lots of rubber and lots of aero. It should be competitive although the class leader is currently a 800hp twin turbo vette with a sequential transmission. As with any type of racing, he who has the most money typically wins.

Please could anyone help me double-check that this parts list is the most accurate and up to date before I order?

(this'll be for a turbo build)

06A905115D ignition coils (audi oem)
900143 Pontiac solstice slave cylinder & bearing - if I'm looking for an OEM Solstice cylinder, should I get the base or GXP version? they have different part numbers from pontiac. Do I need the separate pilot bearing also?
1J0422152G 1.8T power steering pump (vw/audi oem)
021133064A throttle body (VW oem)

thanks for any help.
