Yes I saw the article. It works brilliantly straight out of the box, 100% plug and play. The guys at SC are very helpful too incase you have any questions. Other than idle being set a little high for my liking. I haven't had to make any changes. Sure I have made changes but that's just me poking about
I kid you not, you can plug it all in and getting running in an evening. It's made the throttle a lot more responsive and the car pulls well. I intend to take the car over to SC for a map check and power run. This is purely for peace of mind really as I'd not expect anything much to be changed outside of a tiny tweek here and there. Certainly no regrets so far.

The article quoted a 45hp increase and a nice boost in torque particularly from 4k rpm, pound for pound I would have thought this has to be one of the cheapest power upgrades out there.

Quick update on the rear wheel arch liners. They fit a treat

Trial fit of the RHS



Needed to make up an additional bracket. Uses the same fixing point as the wing/bumper stay.



Fits spot-on. Secured in two places, no movement, nice and secure.



LHS also needs an additional fastening point so I added a speed nut to the existing liner.



LHS fitted.



The aim of these is just to prevent the build up of crap in the rear arches and behind the lights. Time will tell

Yeah, it's a bit of a mystery. They went over board with shielding in other areas but totally neglected the rear arches. Maybe it was a heat concern? Not an issue now tho since I run with no cat and a cup pipe instead of the primary muffler. It'll be nice to hopefully not have muddy water running out from under the lights and down the bumper anymore

Did the 993's have them? If so could they be retrofitted to the 964? It's been something that's been bothering me too - all that road dirt and grim ending up caking the the right light rears... Any flexible plastic that could be cut to fit should help (anything that prevents a direct path to the rear corners I would have thought).

Amazing work as always...if you ever decide to produce a limited run for a few quid...I am more than happy to contribute for a set.

Looks perfect Rob .. Satisfying to see even from here.

Interestingly the 964 T has rear fender liners fitted stock from what I could see
... But fenders obviously wider re the parts question ... Best solution per Franks suggestion
Is a massive RobT groupbuy

The question is the parachute effect at the rear, air go in and should come out...isn't it ...,
it's probably a good idea to vent the rear bumper
